What Personal Data We Collect and Why
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 to assist with spam detection.
We may use an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) to check if you are using the Gravatar service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
