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…

Links to the CoA for bacopa, gotu kola, ashw, from banyan and nutri cargo. note that the Banyan product is a bulk powder. they dont sell extracts. thus the ppm of lead is lower, but you need to take more. https://mega.co.nz/#F!0UU0CLYL!VDRJxUqraod9xyG3IzGYwg
in case above link doesnt work: http://ge.tt/8Zidd7t

Thanks! However, the megaupload link is empty. It doesn't show any papers.
