Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible in the context of your comment.
