Comments
When users leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details, to help prevent spam. An anonymized version of your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
