Welcome to Abyssal (hereinafter referred to as “the Site”).

- Information you provide: Your name, email address, and website URL (optional), as entered in the comment form.
- Technical data: Your IP address and browser User-Agent string, which assist in automated spam detection.
Gravatar Integration:
We generate an anonymized hash from your email address and send it to the Gravatar service (operated by Automattic Inc.) to check if you have a public avatar associated with that email.
Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar image (if any) will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.
