Privacy Policy

Who we are

We are a Canadian marketing company and we created this website to collect information from and about you. We will be showcasing ads on this site and we will be marketing the site and database to companies interested in acquiring it. By signing up (opting-in) to our mailing list, you are providing permission to us to send relevant marketing information occasionally. You can opt-out at any time from the handy-dandy unsubscribe link within the email communication. 

We are using google analytics to track site information, and Facebook pixels (whatever that is) because that’s apparently good to do when you’re advertising on the Facebook. 

I am not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but please be aware that this is a site designed to collect some information about you. Ad revenue will be used to pay our writers, graphic designer, web hosting costs, and with any luck, tasty liver treats for our chief barketing officer. If you are interested in purchasing this site, please reach out to: bidding@eightbillionth.com

Thanks for visiting our site, and we hope you choose wisely on your guess as to when and where the 8 billionth person will be born. Bon Chance! Good Luck! Buena suerte! Viel Glück! 祝你好運 Bona sort

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
