Comments
When you submit a comment, in addition to the information provided in the comment form, the commenter’s IP address and browser ID string are collected to filter out unsolicited content.
An impersonalized string generated from your email address (commonly called a hash) is sent to the Gravatar service if it is used on the site. The terms and conditions of the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once a post is accepted, the content of our post and our profile picture will be publicly displayed.
