We also use a spam detection service to filter out spam and remove vulgar messages. This software also protects against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activities.

This information is kept only long enough to perform this function, unless there are legal and regulatory requirements. These requirements do not apply to most users.

We may provide an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
