Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (a “hash”) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked with Gravatar) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

By uploading images, you agree that you are solely responsible for removing any sensitive metadata, and you grant us permission to store and display those images on our platform.
