Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form and also the visitor’s IP address and the browser’s user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called hash) can be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in connection with your comment.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be retained indefinitely. This is so that we can recognize and approve all follow-up comments automatically instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
