Information We Collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us in spam detection.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with Gravatar to confirm if you have a profile. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture, if available, will be visible alongside your comment.
