Information Collection and Use
- Comments: When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

Sharing of Information
- Password Resets: If a visitor requests a password reset, their IP address will be included in the reset email.
