Terms of Use

This Privacy Policy explains how Manhands (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit manhands.tv (the “Site”). If you have questions, contact matt@manhands.tv.

1) Information we collect

A) Information you provide

• Contact form submissions: information you type into the form (such as name, email address, and message).

B) Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, some information is automatically logged by our servers and security tools, such as:

• Device and browser info: user agent, browser type, operating system, language settings.
• Log and network data: IP address, approximate region derived from IP (best effort), referrer URL, pages viewed, date/time of requests.
• Security and anti-spam signals: rate-limiting and spam-detection flags (e.g., honeypot checks, timing checks).

C) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality (such as remembering preferences) and, if you choose to accept, for analytics (measuring what’s working).

• Essential cookies: required for the Site to function.
• Analytics cookies (optional): only enabled after you accept cookies in the consent banner (if enabled on the Site).

2) How we use information

We use information to:

• Respond to messages and requests you send us.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site.
• Protect the Site and users (fraud prevention, spam prevention, security monitoring).
• Measure Site performance and usage only if you opt into analytics cookies.

3) How we share information

We may share information in the following situations:

• Service providers: vendors who help us run the Site (hosting, security, analytics—if enabled).
• Legal reasons: if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business transfers: if the Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

4) Third-party services

The Site may embed or link to third-party services (for example, streaming/video embeds, social platforms, or a third-party store). Those services may collect data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies.

5) Analytics

If enabled, we may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how the Site is used. Analytics is loaded only after you accept cookies via the Site’s cookie banner (if implemented that way on the Site).

6) Data retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security and recordkeeping. Contact messages may be retained for a reasonable period to respond and maintain support history. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

7) Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. However, no website or internet transmission is 100% secure.

8) Your choices

• Cookie choices: you can accept or reject optional analytics cookies in the cookie banner. You can also clear cookies in your browser.
• Contact: you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you submitted via the contact form by emailing us.

9) International visitors

The Site may be accessed globally. Your information may be processed in countries where our service providers operate. By using the Site, you understand your information may be transferred, stored, and processed outside your jurisdiction.

10) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

11) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date when changes are made. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
