When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect:

  • The data entered in the comments form (e.g., name, email, website, comment content).

An anonymized string (hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a linked profile. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here.

These third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, track interactions, or require login authentication. We recommend reviewing their individual privacy policies.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except in the following cases:

  • Spam Protection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

5. Data Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to:
