Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam effectively.

Additionally, an anonymized string (or “hash”) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. If you do, your Gravatar profile picture will appear publicly alongside your comment upon approval. For more information, refer to the Gravatar Privacy Policy.
