Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the data collected are that shown in the visitor’s comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string – all to help in spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
