Comments & Interaction
When you leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. We utilize an anonymized string from your email address (known as a hash) which might be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are a user. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.
