A few seconds of clicking reveals that Gravatar is run by Automattic
which is better known as Wordpress.com. That's why you need a
Wordpress account, it *is* Wordpress.

They have a detailed privacy policy here:

https://automattic.com/privacy/

It's pretty reasonable, no sale of info to third parties, the most
evil thing they do is use your profile info to target ads on their
site, which doesn't apply to Gravatar since it's not providing ads,
just mapping hashes of addresses to pictures. I've had my Gravatar set
up for ages including for some addresses that only Wordpress knows and
I've never gotten any unexpected spam to those addresses.

I suspect it wouldn't be terribly hard to use the Datatracker pix instead
but I'd put it pretty low on the list of things to do.

R's,
John
