What data we collect and why we collect it

Data you provide

When visitors share information using this website – for example, by leaving comments on posts or filling out a contact form, we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

When leaving a comment, an anonymised 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/.
