Apparently I need a privacy policy for this site...

I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com and endless.com.
Email / Newsletters / Email Lists: We don't have any newsletters or email lists. If you email us, your email will probably be retained for our records; especially if it would be of interest to law enforcement agencies or your ISP, or webhost, in the case of abusive or spam emails.
When you send email or other communications to MyStrangeBlog.com, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services. We may also use those communications in blog posts or articles, and publish them on or offline. Any information you disclose voluntarily on our comments pages becomes public information.

All information sharing is optional and done so at your own risk. Those comments may also be used by us in future blog posts or articles and publish them on or offline.
We use Gmail.com for our email services.
We have an "email this" link on many of our pages. The script is controlled by Blogger/Google -- we have no access to the data it collects.
Links: This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we at MyStrangeBlog.com are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Log Files: We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement on our site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Other information we collect includes the operating system you are using, the internet browser you are using, the domain name of your internet service provider, and the web sites you visit directly before and after your visit to MyStrangeBlog.com IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We sometimes share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. (In practice this is usually limited to things like, which countries our traffic is coming from.) It's doubtful that we'd be asked, but if we were ordered to by a Canadian Law Enforcement Agency or Canadian Court then we'd give said information to them.
Web bugs / Invisible Gifs: A Web bug sometimes known as a "Invisible gif" is a transparent, (usually 1x1 pixel) gif file stored on the user's hard drive that has a number attached to it which corresponds with an advertisers media. It helps to verify who commissions are due to as well as track the effectiveness of ad media. Usage of a web bug or invisible gif is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site.
Some of our business partners use web bugs on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these web bugs.
Other Privacy / Legal Issues: This site and business is located in Canada, and is governed by any other applicable laws made by the Provincal Government of Nova Scotia and the Federal Government of Canada.
