Personal data we collect on this site and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the blog we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, reviews, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
