Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect data displayed in the form of comments, as well as the IP addresses of visitors and the user's browser agent bar, to help detect spam.

An anonymous string created at your email address (also called a hash) can be provided to Gravatar to find out if you use it. Gravatar's privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with built-in location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and retrieve any location data from images on the site.
