The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be reviewed at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Subsequent to the approval of a user’s comment, their profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of their comment. Should you have any concerns about the collection and utilization of this data, we encourage you to refer to our full privacy policy or contact us.
