Himalaya Brand Bacopa

Since there is a lot of concern over the heavy metal content in different Bacopa brands, I thought that I would write Himalaya and ask for the COA for their Brahmi (Bacopa) product. I sent them an email asking for it, and got an automated response asking for my personal contact details. I ignored it, as it was just an automated message. Then I got an email directly from their customer care asking for my name, address, telephone number, and date of birth. I politely informed them that information was unnecessary for them to provide their purity levels and heavy metal analysis. They had my name and email address. There is no reason they need my address and date of birth.
They promptly ignored my email, so I sent another. I asked them again for the COA, and let them know that we were discussing it on a forum, and other vendors had already given us their COAs. They have now promptly ignored that email as well. This is concerning me now. Why won't they give me their COA, or at least respond to my emails unless I give them my address and date of birth?
I have since sent them another email informing them that I will be making posts on multiple health supplement sites, recommending that…

Thanks for following up on this. In response to my original post a few weeks ago on safe lead levels. I received a coa from banyan botanical on bacopa and ashwagandha. And also from nutricargo. Would be happy to share if anyone is interested. Also buyers should be aware of what constitutes safe lead levels. As the safety standards range from each safety authority. See my previous post for a pdf with additional details.
