Our Privacy Policy

MankaBros.com is committed to protecting the privacy of our guests. We occasionally collect personal information from our guests. This Web page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, what we do with it and what you can do about it. We also ask guests under age 18 to always check with their parents before giving out any personal information on our website. This site is intended for everyone ages 13 and up, and we always encourage parents to monitor their kid's online life -- protection starts at home!

Collection of Personal Information

MankaBros.com maintains the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal information that we obtain from our guests. We collect only the personal information that you submit voluntarily (for community features and contests).

Our site uses order forms and registration forms for members for the following purposes:

to request information, products, etc.
to enter contests and sweepstakes

We collect contact information (like guests' email addresses, names and mailing addresses) through these forms. Contact information from the forms is used to send prizes to our guests, to send information about our website and for the purposes of record keeping. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the Stop Receiving Mail section below.

Our online surveys and contests sometimes ask guests for contact information (like their email addresses) or information about hobbies or interests. We sometimes use this information to help us provide our guests with better service and customized information.

We never share this information with any other party for any purpose whatsoever, unless legally compelled to do so in compliance with law enforcement officials.

We may use any personal information you send, such as name, age, location and personal preferences, for content or for marketing and promotional purposes, and we may share your demographic information with others.

About IP Addresses

MankaBros.com collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report anonymous aggregate information to third parties. An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When guests request pages from MankaBros.com, our servers log the users' IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a guest's session will be logged, but the guest remains anonymous to us.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an industry standard, you'll find them at most major Web sites. MankaBros.com sometimes uses cookies to track certain information for our guests' convenience, primarily so you can have your membername and password remembered for you in the Message Boards. Cookies are also responsible for alerting you to new topics on the boards.

Links to Other Sites

You should be aware that when you are on MankaBros.com you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from our site that take you outside our service. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up on the Web.

Security

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us.

Other Privacy Issues

While we do a really good job of keeping ourselves in check, MankaBros.com is not responsible for the content or privacy policy of the Web sites we may link to. And regarding chat rooms and message boards. You need to keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily give personal information online, by using message boards, instant messengers, through email or in chat areas -- it can be collected and used by other people. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from others in return. All we're saying is, there are weirdos out there who make it a hobby to collect information about unsuspecting surfers, so remember that whatever personal information you disclose to anyone online you do at your own risk! Do not share your password! MankaBros.com staff will never ask you for your password. Beware of random users posing as MankaBros.com staffers to gain access to your personal information.
