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.

Our Newsletter signup form collects your email address. First and last name are also collected if you provide them, but this is optional. Your email address is required so that we can honor your request to join our mailing list. If you wish to be removed from the mailing list use the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the newsletter when available or contact us at info@explorelyoncounty.org.
