Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
We may use an anonymized string (a hash) created from your email address to check if you are using the Gravatar service. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
