Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Sanskar website, we collect the information shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam. 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 can be found here. After a comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
