In keeping with Google’s request March 13, 2009, that publishers using AdSense to monetize their site have a transparent and available privacy policy we offer the following:

1. The website "factfictionandconjecture.ca" has decided to opt out of Google’s “interest-based advertising” which uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to collect data in the ad serving process and intends instead to remain with the older “contextual-based advertising” in which advertisements are served based on keywords, or to quote a Google abstract “the content of a web page is analyzed to determine a list of one or more topics associated with that web page. An advertisement is considered to be relevant to that web page if it is associated with keywords belonging to the list of one or more topics.”

2. The website "factfictionandconjecture.ca" accepts input from website visitors via Email. The collection process is completely voluntary, visitors sending said input (a purported close encounter for instance) which is then posted on the Internet at the Webmaster's discretion. To protect the sender’s identity only first names are published.

3. No sensitive personal information (Email addresses, home addresses, telephone numbers, etc.) is shared with any third party, nor is any requested.

4. The website "factfictionandconjecture.ca" is not responsible for the privacy policies of other websites with which we may be linked.
