COMMENTS
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data that appears in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How long we keep your data

All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their user name). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
