EU law states that any personal data held by web sites like ours should be reasonably accurate and used only for the purposes previously notified to you.
So if we ask for your:
Email address...
We do this to verify you're a person, not a computer. It's also that we can send you what you've asked for, such as newsletters or an answer to a question.
Postcode or address
This is so we can post something to you, such as a competition prize. It saves emails going backwards and forwards confirming your address.
Gender or date of birth
This lets us find out who's using the site so we can make it more relevant. We also recommend that under 18s use a message board that better caters for their needs.
Credit card or other payment details
We need these to charge you for a Mansized subscription or similiar. It may be necessary to share some of these details with other firms to take payment, but we'll make sure your info is used for nothing other than admin purposes.
We also collect:
IP Address
Every connection to the internet has a number - known as an IP address - and this is collected automatically when you visit our site.
While we don't look at these numbers very often, we may use them occasionally to guess where readers are logging in from. We may also use them to bar access to our message boards.
Cookies
A cookie is a text file that websites place on your computer to make services easier to use.
Mansized uses cookies to regulate the amount of adverts you see so you're never bogged down by them. Cookies also give you the option of not logging into the site every time you visit.
You can switch off cookies in your browser, but our site won't work as well.
Anything else
We may collect other information that's not specific to you, such as what pages our readers like best or what adverts you click on. This is just to get a better understanding of what you'd like to see.
Some of this information may be passed onto advertisers or other partners, but none of it identifies you personally.
Many of the adverts on this site use cookies to gauge how you react to them. Mansized has no access to this data and we suggest you contact the advertiser concerned with any questions you may have.
