Submitting comments
When visitors leave comments on this website, we collect the data shown in the comment submission form’s fields, the visitor’s IP address, and a browser user agent identification string. This data is used to facilitate spam detection.
If you provide your email address when commenting, an anonymized ‘hash’ string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service, to see if you are a Gravatar user. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your Gravatar profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Personal information in comments
Comments must not contain personally identifiable information (PII). Any comments containing PII will be manually deleted.
Comments with PII will be determined on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of website moderators and administrators. A greater amount of PII in a comment or across a series of comments will increase the likelihood of comment deletion.
Some examples of PII include: email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, mailing addresses, and links to other sources containing large amounts of PII.
