Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection..
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check, if it is in use. 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.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

Who your data is being shared with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
