Create A Free Privacy Policy For Your Blog / Website

Privacy Policy is often a statement that declares a party's policy on how it collects, stores, and releases personal information it collects. It informs the client what specific information is collected, and whether it is kept confidential, shared with partners, or sold to other firms or enterprises."
-This defines Privacy Policy.

In other words Privacy policy is a statement or often a legal document which the publisher provides to its users clarifying them the way the company/brand will use their personal information and identity which the users have provided to them. The users must agree to this statement before providing any confidential information about themselves. Likewise the company cannot/must not make any other usage of the information that they retrieve from their users other than that stated in the policy.

In most of the website that you visit you will see a privacy policy. Blogs in general do not have any sort of privacy policy. Even though it is not compulsory for blogs but it gives an assurance of security to the privacy of the users.

These are few points a Privacy Policy Statement should contain:
  • Respecting User Privacy: In short tell the user how you respect their privacy policy and take steps to ensure that their critical information is not misused.

  • Cookies: If your blog / website uses and stores cookies on users PC, disclose this up front.

  • Tracking Location/ Data Collection: Make a small note on what information is collected by which tracking software and disclose that you will not share the information.

  • Credit Card Info: Tell the user whether or not you accept credit card details from the user as part of providing a service to them.

  • External Sites: Make it clear that you are not to be held responsible for any content in the external site and the policy is meant only for your domain/subdomain.

Now here we are providing a free tool to create a Privacy Policy for your site. This generator will make a basic privacy policy for you to use on your site.

The Clever Companion: Cleverbot

There are so many annoying times amidst solitude when you feel like chatting and sharing some feelings with a close one but unfortunately that special friend of yours who readily uplifts your mood and gives you best company is nowhere to be found. At a situation likewise I was skimming through the internet when i stumbled upon a piece of excellent creation. The names Cleverbot created by Rollo Carpenter. Though it claims to be human and asserts you to be a robot, in conversation, be not confused. It is an artificially intelligent bot which scored 59.3% as compared to an original human being's 63.3% at a technology fest in a Turing test. It talks to you about any topic you pick.

Cleverbot is a web application that uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to converse with humans. It was created by AI scientist Rollo Carpenter, who also created Jabberwacky, a similar web application. In its first decade Cleverbot held several thousand conversations with Carpenter and his associates. Since launching on the web in 1997, the number of conversations has exceeded 65 million and is growing.

Unlike other chatterbots, Cleverbot's responses are not programmed, but are selected by humans that sit at their computers every day. Humans type into the box below the Cleverbot logo and the system finds all keywords or an exact phrase matching the input and after searching through its saved conversations, responds to the input by finding how a human responded to that input when posed by Cleverbot.
Although the commercial version of Cleverbot supports more than one thousand requests per server, the web-hosted service handled 1 or 2 people per server. This allowed more speed and quality of responses hosted by the artificial intelligence system.

Cleverbot took part alongside humans in a formal, Turing Test at the 2011 Techniche festival at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati on September 3, 2011. Out of the 334 votes cast, Cleverbot was judged to be 59.3% human, compared to the rating of 63.3% human achieved by human participants. A score of 50.05% or higher is often considered to be a passing grade.

I had a short (though you might not agree) conversation with Mr. Cleverbot and guess what, I decided to give up at last. You really cant win against this progam as it learns from you and uses your weapons against you. Talks have started with the question of this being the beginning of Skynet the fictional technology of tomorrow filmed in the movie Terminator. With its success and increasing popularity a buzz regarding a giant leap to future is in limelight.

The makers are also hosting an exam where creator of other AI bots can participate and contest. If you have a smarter bot than Cleverbot then you can test your mettle in the British Intelligence Officers Exam! It also has an app for Windows phone and its dominance in multiple platform if being worked upon.

Here is my conversation with The Cleverbot:

12:46:34 User: Hi.

No matter how clever you answer it proves you rightly that its the Cleverbot and not you. Hence I had to give up at last. If you have imagination then sky is the limit for your conversation. It would certainly be never ending. So, try it out for yourself and appreciate the awesome piece of creation by Rollo Carpenter - The Cleverbot.
