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. Please see the Gravatar service privacy policy for more information. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We use Akismet on thegallivanta.com to help prevent spam. Any comments submitted through this service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Thegallivanta.com also uses Subscribe to Comments Reloaded to manage comment subscriptions. By providing your email address you consent to receiving new comment or comment reply notifications for the post based on your selection. Your email will only be used for these notifications.
