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 help detect spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible within the context of your comment.
