Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information that you provide in the comment form, such as your name, email address, and website (if any). We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to help us detect and prevent spam. We do not use your email address for any other purpose than to notify you of replies to your comment or to send you our newsletter if you opt-in.
We may also use a service called Gravatar to display your profile picture next to your comment. Gravatar is a service that allows you to create an avatar based on your email address. To do so, Gravatar will use a hashed version of your email address (a string of letters and numbers that does not reveal your actual email address) and check if you have an account with them. If you do, Gravatar will send us your profile picture to display on our website. You can read more about how Gravatar handles your data on their privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. If you do not want to use Gravatar, you can leave the email field blank or use a different email address when commenting.
