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 created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images uploaded to the site.
