Checked 2026-09-02. Every line links the page we found it on. A cross means we found nothing at the addresses we checked, not that the vendor has no such document. A transparency score, not a product rating.
We do not issue badges: a badge is the first step towards a paid placement, and there is none here. The SVG is a document with the date in it, for your own files.
