What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized hash of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. Their privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture is visible publicly with your comment.
