Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: Automattic Privacy Policy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
