Comments

When visitors post comments on our website, we collect the information provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This data is collected to aid in spam detection. Additionally, an anonymized string generated from your email address (referred to as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you use it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is accessible at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Users have the ability to view, modify, or delete their personal information at any time, excluding their username. Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.

You also have the option to request the erasure of any personal data we have on record about you.
