Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form. Additionally, we collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string, created from your email address (often referred to as a hash), might be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can review the Gravatar service privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.
