Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Man Collected (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit mancollected.com.
Section 1 – Information We Collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies for your convenience, so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
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. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Man Collected may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, we may monitor the most popular pages or use spam screening to help identify spam. This information may be displayed publicly or provided to others in aggregate, non-personally-identifying form. Man Collected does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described in this policy.
Section 2 – How We Use Your Information
When you browse our website, we may collect the personal information you give us such as your name and email address (for example, when leaving a comment). We also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address in order to provide us with information that helps us learn about your browser and operating system. We use this information to operate, maintain, and improve the site, and to communicate with you if you have opted in to receive updates from us.
Section 3 – Who We Share Your Data With
Man Collected discloses potentially personally-identifying information only to those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available at Man Collected, and that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Man Collected will not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations as described above, Man Collected discloses potentially personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Man Collected believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Man Collected, third parties, or the public at large.
Section 4 – Third-Party Services
In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. Certain third-party service providers have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them. We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.
Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. When you click on links on our site, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.
Section 5 – Consent
When you provide us with personal information, such as when leaving a comment or subscribing to updates, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to opt out.
If after you opt in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at mancollected [at] gmail [dot] com.
Section 6 – Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Section 7 – How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.
Section 8 – Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Section 9 – Age of Consent
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority and have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.
Section 10 – Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we use or disclose it.
