What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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 anonymised 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 is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Here, the IP address is truncated by removing the final three characters, so that a clear assignment of the IP address is no longer possible. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide further services that are related to the use of the website and to Internet use. Google will also, if necessary, transfer this information to third parties, insofar as this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with other Google data. Our justified interest in processing personal data as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR also lies in these purposes.
Data is also processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Data is automatically erased within 160 days at the latest after its statistical evaluation.
