Protecting your privacy is very important to our website. We will not sell, lease or exchange your personal data to third parties without first obtaining your express consent.

ManiaSpot is an environment to learn, share knowledge, socialize with friends and family. ManiaSpot also gives opportunities for its users to buy and sell goods, using “the mall”.

Members create their own profiles, and those profiles are then shown to other members of this site.

ManiaSpot collects information our users submit to us such as their name and e-mail address to allow us to identify users and notify them of changes or updates to our service. We also collect personal information submitted by our users in filling out their profile on the service such as gender, location, age, etc. We collect this personal information when our users: sign up as a member; make changes to their member profile information; and send e-mail messages. Members may choose to provide additional information beyond their basic profile for their other profile sections. Providing additional information beyond what is required at registration and account setting, is entirely optional, but enables our users to better identify each other and more effectively connect and interact with their network.

Like many other Web sites, ManiaSpot uses a standard technology called "cookies." Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive - not on our site. They can help make the Internet experience quicker and more convenient. Cookies allow our users to login without entering their ID and password each time they use ManiaSpot. Members who disable cookies will not be able to use ManiaSpot. We will not sell, lease or exchange your personal data to third parties without first obtaining your express consent, unless required by law or to protect your membership. If you use our Invite feature to invite a friend to our service, we will ask you for your friend's email address. We'll automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join your Personal Network. ManiaSpot does not sell these email addresses or use them to transmit any communication other than the invitation to join your personal Network. ManiaSpot stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this invitation and for tracking the success of our Invite functionality and updating our users for any new updates.

The ManiaSpot site may contain links to other Web sites. Please be aware that ManiaSpot is not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites our users choose to visit. If our users provide any information directly to parties other than ManiaSpot, different rules may apply to the use or disclosure of the personal information disclosed. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing your personal information to third parties.

Please be aware that whenever members voluntarily disclose personal information online - e.g., message boards, file uploads, events, and classifieds and etc - that information becomes public and can be collected and used by others. By posting personal information online in public forums (Discussion room, pictures, video and Journals), members may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. ManiaSpot recommends that you exercise discretion in deciding what information you disclose on the Internet.

You can review, delete, correct and revise your privacy settings and personal profile, including who has access to your personal profile in your account at any time or contact us for assistance via the Contact Us page; requests of this nature will be completed within 30 days or less.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

Additionally, we may send registered users an email notifying you of the change. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHALL STOP USING THE MANIASPOT SERVICE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE MANIASPOT SERVICE FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR ON OUR WEBSITE OR BLOG OR RECEIVING OUR EMAIL NOTIFYING YOU OF THE CHANGE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
