What personal data we collect and why we collect it?
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We collect the data at industry level to create benchmarks, we reserve the right to publish insights from this industry level data to promote our services. We undertake NOT to release the name of any information provider or company name (without permission) in conjunction with potentially sensitive or confidential information, received in the course of an enquiry or benchmark test.
