Managa.com, owned, operated and/or managed by Starz Media, LLC (“Manga”) is committed to helping users of its Site understand the information it collects, how it uses that information, the choices users have about the way their information is used, and the precautions Manga.com takes to protect information concerning its users. This Privacy Policy applies specifically to the Site only, and covers information collected on or through the Site. When using other Starz Media web sites, we encourage you to review the Privacy Policy controlling that particular site.

A. Information We Collect.

Manga.com collects personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit in various contexts including, but not limited to: (1) the registration or account creation process for the Site; (2) the registration process for sweepstakes, contests, and other online promotions offered on the Site; (3) your participation in online research surveys offered on the Site; (4) the process to report a problem with our Site and resolving customer service activities (including via email and chat), and (5) in connection with content submissions, voting and polling activities. Such personally identifiable information may include, without limitation, name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number.

When you visit the Site, our servers automatically collect information that describes how you use the Site (which pages you visit and how long you stay, plus the anonymous information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as browser type, data that identifies the page you visited prior to and after your visit to the Site, and your IP address). We also may determine what technology is available through your browser so we can serve you the most appropriate version of a page.

Cookies are small information files that our Site may place on your computer to provide extended functionality. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking how visitors use our Site, limiting multiple responses to polls or surveys, and recording your member registration information. Cookies (including beacons), by themselves, do not provide Manga.com with personally identifiable information unless you choose to voluntarily provide this information to us by, for example, registering on the Site. However, once you choose to furnish us with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. You can turn off cookies in your web browser (see your browser’s manual or help file for instructions), but if you do turn off cookies you may not be able to access parts of the Site where cookies are used.

You should be aware that advertisers or other third parties serving content on the Site may set and access their own cookies on your computer. We don’t have control over cookies placed by third parties. Such third parties’ use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, which may differ from this one. Such third parties do not have access to our cookies.

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or network when you’re on the Internet. It’s usually associated with the place you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your school. When you visit pages on our Site, our servers log your IP address. We collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as system administration and to keep track of the number of visits to different pages on the Site.

While using the Site, you may encounter links to other web sites or online materials. Those other web sites and any online advertising servers delivering ads to our Site may set their own cookies, collect data, and/or have their own privacy policies that differ from this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected by Manga.com, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personally identifiable information you may disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms or discussion boards). When you voluntarily post information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be collected and used by other people to send unsolicited messages (or “spam”) and marketing materials. Manga.com  assumes no responsibility for any action or policies of any third parties who collect information that users disclose on discussion boards or in other public areas of the Site.
