What personal data we collect and why we collect it:

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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 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.

Contact forms

If you send us a message through a contact form on the site, messages and information you send us will be sent to us via email. Such emails may be retained by us indefinitely but will not be shared with third parties without your explicit permission. For example, we may contact you and ask if we can quote you in one of our blog posts or articles.
