What Data We Collect (And Why We Keep It Minimal)
Our Data Minimization Promise: We only collect what’s essential to provide our services. If we don’t need it, we don’t ask for it.
Comments
When you leave comments, we collect:

- Your IP address and browser info (for spam protection only)
- An anonymized email hash for Gravatar profile pictures (Gravatar Privacy Policy)

- Optional profile information (you choose what to share)
- Login preferences and settings
Your Control: View, edit, or delete your account and all data anytime in your dashboard settings.
