Personal information includes data like names, email addresses, or IP addresses. **Form Submissions** When you submit a form or leave comments, we collect the data submitted, your IP address, and browser user agent string to detect spam. An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. We collect this data to manage and prevent spam. **Spam Detection** We may use a spam detection service to filter form submissions and comments for spam. These services process comment data (e.g., name, email, IP address, comment content) by checking it against external spam databases. This data may be sent to servers in the U.S. and retained for short periods (typically two weeks to ninety days) before deletion. **Newsletter Subscriptions** If you sign up for our newsletter or submit a contact form, we collect your name and email address (and any other information you voluntarily provide). We use **Beehiiv**, a U.S.-based newsletter and email platform operated by Beehiiv Inc., to manage subscriptions, send newsletters, and handle email campaigns. When you subscribe to our newsletter, you will typically be required to confirm your subscription through a double opt-in process (you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to verify your subscription).
