Comments
When you leave a comment on our articles, we collect:
- The data you enter (name and email address).
- Your IP address.
- The browser user agent string.
This data is used to prevent spam, improve site security, and ensure a safe space for conversation.
MenoPawse uses Gravatar to display profile pictures associated with comments. Gravatar receives an anonymous hash generated from your email to check if you have an associated image. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if it exists) will be visible to the public.
We also use automated anti-spam tools that process the data submitted in each comment to prevent malicious activity.

All multimedia content visible on MenoPawse has been uploaded exclusively by the editorial team.
