Information Collection

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. An anonymized string generated from your email (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible publicly in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images on the site.
