Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture. You can learn about Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.
