What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

The type of data collected via a contact form will depend on the purpose of the form and will be visible to you as you enter your data into the form. For example, in most cases, you will be asked to enter your name and email address to enable a follow-up communication with you.
