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.

Should you decide to participate in any other services we may have an account on such as but not limited to Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. the privacy policy of that service applies to media and comments posted there and is different from the policy here at WagWagWoofWoof.com.
