Posting a comment or answer:

When users drop comments/remarks on our website, we gather the data that appear in the comment form and the user’s browser user agent string and IP address to help spam sense.

A strange string originating from your email address may be forwarded to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it or a robot.

Furthermore, after confirmation of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public with your comment or answer.
