What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We may also pass this on to another member of our staff to be able to answer your query as efficiently as possible. We do not pass this information on to any other third parties (unless it is necessary to do so for the nature of your query but we will inform you of this), neither do we use any of your details for marketing purposes.
