What Personal Data We Collect and Why
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 hash of your email may be used with the Gravatar service. You can review their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media
If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as it can be extracted by visitors.
