Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display a profile picture next to your comment. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After comment approval, your profile picture becomes visible publicly.
