Comments

When visitors submit inquiries or comments on our website, we collect the information entered in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser details to help prevent spam and maintain site security.

A secure, anonymized code generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you use their profile system. You can view their privacy policy on their official website. Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile image—if available—may appear publicly next to your comment.
