Comments
When users leave comments on our platform, we collect the information they provide in the comments form, along with their IP address and browser user agent string. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.

To enhance your commenting experience, we may use an anonymized hash created from your email address to check if you have a Gravatar profile. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in relation to your comment.

Media
If you upload images to our platform, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other users who access the images on our platform can download and extract any location data present in those images.
