Comments
When users leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered into the comment form, along with the user’s IP address and browser details. This data helps us detect and prevent spam.
We may use an anonymized version of your email address (called a hash) to check if you’re using the Gravatar service, which allows your profile image to display next to your comment. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy.

If you upload images to FastbreakJournal.com, we advise removing any embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the site can potentially download and extract such information from uploaded files.
