After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
