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 help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can view the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from any images posted publicly.
