What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data entered in the comment form along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect and prevent spam.
We may use the Gravatar service to display your profile image if you have an account with them. An anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with Gravatar to verify if you are using the service. Learn more at Gravatar Privacy Policy.
Once your comment is approved, your profile image and comment may be publicly visible on our site.
