Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent details. This helps us prevent spam and maintain website security.

An anonymized hash created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using their profile image. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture (if any) becomes visible publicly alongside your comment.

If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location details from images uploaded to the site.
