Text suggestion: When visitors write comments on the website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (which identifies the browser) to help spam detection.
An anonymized string can be created from your e-mail address (also called a hash) and passed to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy /. After your comment has been approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
