<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to Gravatar to display user avatars as a fallback when no custom avatar has been uploaded.
<ul>
<li>What the service is and what it is used for: Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar service operated by Automattic. The plugin uses WordPress core’s <code>get_avatar()</code> / <code>get_avatar_url()</code> to render an avatar image for an author when the user has not uploaded a custom avatar via this plugin.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: a SHA-256 hash of the user’s email address is sent to gravatar.com each time an author avatar needs to be rendered (front-end author box, admin user list, onboarding screen). No raw email, name, or IP address is transmitted by the plugin itself; the request is performed by the visitor’s browser when the avatar URL is loaded.</li>
<li>Service provider: Automattic Inc.</li>
<li>Terms of service: https://wordpress.com/tos/</li>
