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 to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service Privacy Policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
