10. Comment spam filtering
Comments submitted through the comment form on this blog are sent to Synth Antispam, an external classification service, which returns a verdict on whether the comment is spam. This has been the case since 26 August 2026, 14:22 UTC — earlier than the date this section was published. The disclosure followed the processing rather than arriving with it, and the arrangement runs as a pilot with no fixed end date.
Each check sends the following fields, and nothing else:
schema_version— The version of the request format, so the service stays compatible with older and newer versions of the plugin.plugin_version— The installed version of the plugin, for the same reason.surface— A fixed label saying the submission came from the comment form.object_type— Whether the submission is a comment, a pingback or a trackback.content.body— The comment text as submitted, before WordPress applies its own HTML filtering.content.author_name— The display name typed into the comment form.content.author_url— The website address typed into the comment form, where one is given.content.author_email_domain— The domain part of the email address only — what follows the @, used to recognise throwaway address patterns. Never the address itself.content.author_id_hash— A one-way hash of the email address combined with a secret value belonging to this blog alone. It lets the service tell that two comments here came from the same address without ever receiving that address. The secret never leaves this blog, so the same commenter cannot be recognised across two different sites.context.author_status— Either “registered” (a logged-in user of this blog) or “anonymous”.context.is_reply— Whether the comment is a reply to another comment.context.site_locale— This blog’s configured language.context.client_ip_status— Whether the request carried an IP address at all. The value sent is “absent” or “direct” — never an address.context.has_user_agent— Whether the browser sent a User-Agent string at all. Never the string itself.
Three things are never sent, under any circumstances: your email address, your IP address, and your browser’s User-Agent string. What goes in their place is listed above — the domain of the address, an irreversible hash of it, and two flags saying only whether an address and a User-Agent were there at all.
To reach a verdict, the service passes the comment content to an external language-model provider, which acts as a sub-processor.
What the service keeps afterwards is the verdict itself — the decision, its category and how confident it was. That record expires 24 hours after the check and is then deleted automatically.
The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest: protecting the blog and its readers from comment spam.
This blog is the controller of the data described here. Synth Antispam acts as a processor, on this blog’s instruction and for no purpose of its own. Questions about your data, including a request to see it or have it deleted, go to [email protected]. The service keeps its own address at [email protected]; it is given for reference and does not replace the contact above.
