Website and User Interactions
If ACT’s services include a website where users can interact (e.g., leaving comments or uploading media), these points can be added:
Comments:
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized hash created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to our website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract such data from images.
