What Personal Data We Collect and Why

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 (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on its website. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
