💬 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 to aid in spam detection.
An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify your use of the service. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
