Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from the user's email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if the user is using it. After approval, the comment and associated profile picture become publicly visible.
