Comments
When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information provided in the comments form, including your name, email address, and any content you submit. We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you have a profile picture associated with it.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
