When visitors leave comments on the site, we gather the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (referred to as a hash) might be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service's privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.
