...was to your satisfaction
Another option based on the register of the text. "Tillfyllest" often has a formal tone to it (it was used more in the past), and if the rest of the text has that same slightly older/more formal tone, I might say "...and that the information (provided) was to your satisfaction."

: "Tillfyllest" means simply "enough" (no value intended), Therefore, "adequate" may be more to the point than "satisfactory".

"Tillfyllest" has the meaning of "vara tillräcklig," i.e. in this case there is no need for any more information, client is satisfied with what he received, a need has been satisfied. I suppose what he got was "adequate," but view it as rather bland here.
