At Nourish & Flourish, your trust is our priority. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you share with us, as well as how we may responsibly share it when necessary.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (commonly called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use a Gravatar profile. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be viewed here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture from Gravatar will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site may be able to download images and extract any location data stored within them.
