Sometimes, we are required by law to collect your personal information, for example, to comply with our legislative or legal obligations. While there may be some circumstances where it will be possible for you to interact with us on an anonymous basis or using an alias, these are rare and we will generally need to know who you are in order to comply with our legal obligations and to assist you.
