What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is collected to help with spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
