Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data provided in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (also called a “hash”) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it.
The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible next to your comment.
