2.1 Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (such as name, email address, and comment text), and also 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 see if you are using it.

We use MailPoet to manage email subscriptions, including newsletters and personalized marketing emails. If you choose to subscribe, MailPoet collects your name, email address, and any other information you may choose to provide.
