Hi
With a site on WordPress.com there’s not that many easy options. So just to clear up where the contact data is stored – When someone fills in a contact form it’s emailed to you as well as saved in the feedback as this page describes.
Also you haven’t really given enough information to help with the “publishing to another webpage” part of the question. So I’ll take you half way with the answers and tell you what options I know of that will extract the data.
Option1: “Harvest” the data from your emails
By far the easiest option in my opinion. Use a services like iftt.com to grab the data from your emails and put it wherever – including Google docs. Example ifttt recipe.2) Pull the data from feedback using the REST API to access your site.
I apologise for including this as it’s a very complicated option but it will work and I have tested it myself.3) Alternative (to the complex data extraction methods above)?
You could use a wufoo form instead of the contact form. Wufoo integrates with services like mailchimp to capture the contact data or can use a webhook so you can send the data straight to another webpage (web service). There are a few other option with wufoo as well like dumping the data straight to a csv file using their reporting tools.Hope that helps.

Oh and it’s not automatic, but you can export feedback to a CSV file straight from the feedback menu on the WP-Admin dashboard.
