Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if you have a profile there. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public alongside your comment.
