Information We Collect

Comments & Interactions

When you leave a comment, we collect the details you provide (such as your name and email) along with technical information like your IP address and browser type. This helps us keep our platform secure and protect against spam.

If you use Gravatar, your profile image may appear publicly next to your comment. You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy here: Automattic Privacy Policy.
