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 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.

Where we send your data

To help keep spam comments on our site down, we use a WordPress plugin called Akismet, which is an automated spam detection service. As comments are submitted to this site, they are automatically forwarded to Akismet to see if they are really spam or not. Akismet was created and maintained by a company called Automattic, and you can see their Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

On our contacts page, we use a form called WPForms, created by a company of the same name. You can view their policy at https://wpforms.com/privacy-policy/.
