Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available in the Automattic Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
