I understand that you don’t collect any data on us, and if that is true, then thank you for that. I didn’t know personally (and I’m sure most other users here didn’t either) that my e-mail address, name, comments and other personal info were being provided to Automattic. might you consider using another comment software provider? So James, given the nightmare scenarios you frequently write and talk about on your site re: privacy rights of individuals being obliterated, being tracked 24-7 etc. For more information on how we respond to requests for information, please see our Legal Guidelines.” “Legal Requests: We may disclose Site visitor information in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request. If you’d like, you can read more about our Site Stats feature for sites and Jetpack sites.” We collect and use this information to, for example, tally for our Users how many people visit their Sites from certain geographic regions.

“Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of a visitor’s device from the IP address. “Technical Data from a Visitor’s Computer and Etcetera: We collect the information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available about visitors to a Site, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.” “Site Comments: When a visitor leaves a comment on a Site, we collect that comment, and other information that the visitor provides along with the comment, such as the visitor’s name and email address.” Well I started to go down the Akismet rabbit hole and low and behold this is some of the information I found: Learn how your comment data is processed.” Something led me to the bottom of the comment screen where I found this: I have learned a lot, not from the article/video per se, but from the information I gleaned after thinking about ashley’s comment. Thank you James for this article/video and ashley for your comment.
