Information of yours that mangofizz collects.
Our goal is to become your favorite internet destination for helping with your career goals by providing the information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, the mangofizz website must collect information so we can understand what makes you different from its millions of other unique users. While you are not required to register some services on the mangofizz website, some Products and Services may not function properly or may not be accessible unless you do.
Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable.
mangofizz collects anonymous information, which refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For example, mangofizz collects some information each time a visitor comes to a mangofizz site so we can improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. mangofizz collects the visitor's IP address (e.g., whether the user is logged on from other websites such as ibm.com or aol.com), referral data (e.g., the Internet address of the last web page visited by a user before clicking over to a mangofizz site), and browser and platform type (e.g., a Safari browser on a Macintosh platform). mangofizz also collects aggregate search terms from its search services for internal reporting targeted advertising. mangofizz collects this user information for purposes of product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. In addition, mangofizz collects your responses through a feedback link displayed on the mangofizz website; these anonymous and optional surveys will seek your opinions about the Products and Services or the advertisements displayed on the mangofizz website. You do not have to register with the mangofizz before we can collect this anonymous information.
Personally identifiable information refers to data that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name and postal address, which may be collected in addition to the anonymous data described above. mangofizz collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of its website.
- mangofizz Registration: When you register to use one or more services on the mangofizz website, you will be prompted to provide mangofizz with your name, postal address, ZIP Code/postal code, email address, birth date, gender, telephone number (s), occupation, and other information. While not all of this data is required for our services to function, we are better able to customize your experience if you volunteer complete and accurate information. Users who complete the registration process are given a mangofizz ID and can take full advantage of the many offerings across the mangofizz website.
- Other Registration: In addition to registration for various services on the mangofizz website, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by mangofizz. As described below, our co-brand partners may also ask for personal information. If you purchase services we will ask for a valid credit card number. If you choose not to provide the requested information, mangofizz may not be able to offer you some of the personalized services that depend on this type of information to function.
- Correspondence: If you contact the mangofizz website, we may keep a record of that correspondence. We collect any email addresses of those who communicate with mangofizz via email. We use the information provided so that we may respond to the email.
mangofizz reserves the right to collect certain information and store it in connection with your account. This information includes information about the different services that you visit within the mangofizz website as well as the time and frequency at which you visit them. This information also includes the content that you transmit or post on the mangofizz website. For further information about mangofizz's policy on maintaining transmitted or posted content, please see mangofizz’s Terms and Conditions.
The organization that is collecting the information.
When you register for a service within the mangofizz website, that information is generally collected and maintained solely by mangofizz unless specifically stated otherwise at the point of collection. If data is collected and/or maintained by any company other than mangofizz, we will tell you at the point of collection. If you do not want to share your information with that company, you can choose not to use that service.
mangofizz may run promotions across its website. These promotions may be sponsored or co-sponsored by third-party companies. Data collected during a promotion is typically shared with the sponsor or co-sponsor. mangofizz will inform you at the point of collection whether or not we are sharing your personal data as a result of your participation in a promotion. If you do not want to have mangofizz share your data, you can choose not to participate in the promotion.
Be aware that mangofizz sponsors and many other advertisers have links on the Network that take you to external sites. Some of these sites may collect personally identifiable information from you, and third-party advertising networks for mangofizz may use cookies and Web beacons (see below for a more detailed explanation) in their advertisements to collect certain information from you. Please see Section 7 of this policy for more information about advertising on the mangofizz website. While mangofizz hopes that all third parties involved adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our users, the mangofizz Privacy Policy does not cover third-party data collection practices and mangofizz does not assume any responsibilities nor any liabilities for any actions of third parties.
"Cookies" and "Web beacons" and how mangofizz uses them.
In addition to the personally identifiable information that mangofizz actively collects when you register, we also collect anonymous information passively using cookies and Web beacons. This technology plays an important role in making the Internet work, but there is much confusion among Internet users about what cookies and Web beacons are and how they are used.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a Web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its activities on the Web site. This unique number identifies your web browser to our computer systems whenever you visit the mangofizz website. A cookie will not allow a web site to learn any personally identifiable information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed.
Cookies allow mangofizz to automatically remember your web browser when you visit our website. To help serve you better, mangofizz generally uses cookies to:
- Allow us to deliver products and services more efficiently. By storing certain registration and preference information on cookies or associating cookies with registration, preference or profile information stored on our computers, we can deliver products and services that use such information more quickly and efficiently for more users. This information is normally saved in an encrypted form that only mangofizz can interpret.
- Prevent others from using your account. On the mangofizz website, cookies help us efficiently determine that only one user is logged on under the same member name at a time.
- Measure statistics such as audience size and traffic patterns. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your personally identifiable information.
- Display advertisements. Cookies let us know whether a web browser has seen a particular advertisement (so we can show you a variety of material) and count the number of advertisements displayed to a particular browser. We also use cookies to customize the advertising you see based on non-personally identifiable demographic information that you provide when you register. Third-party advertising for mangofizz may issue cookies on the mangofizz website and other sites when serving advertisements.
- The use of cookies is an internet standard and industry standard, and they are currently used on most major websites. It is possible to adjust your web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies altogether. While mangofizz does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.
Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs, are small image files that mangofizz may place on web pages and within web-based email newsletters that we send.
Working in conjunction with cookies, web beacons allow mangofizz to accurately count the number of unique users who have visited a specific page on the mangofizz website and the number of times those pages are displayed. We can also use web beacons to let us know how many people opened a web-based email newsletter. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your personally identifiable information.
Without cookies and web beacons, it would be difficult for mangofizz to know which services have a larger audience than others. Tracking audience size helps us to better understand when to launch new services and enhance the current offerings. Keep in mind that any image file on a web page can act as a web beacon. Third-party advertising networks for mangofizz may use web beacons in their advertisements.
Because web beacons work in conjunction with cookies, you can prevent our web beacon from collecting anonymous information by setting your web browser to refuse all cookies or the mangofizz cookie in particular. Web beacons are built into our Web pages, so non-functional web beacons will continue to appear even if you refuse the mangofizz cookie.
How mangofizz uses the information it collects.
Any personally identifiable information you share with mangofizz when registering for Products and Services at our website is maintained and accessible only by mangofizz unless specifically stated otherwise. mangofizz requests information from its users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across the mangofizz website, including personalization services, interactive communications, and much more. Most of these Products and Services are available to you at no cost, and mangofizz displays advertisements so we can continue to provide great content and services free of charge. We can also better prepare future content based on your interests.
The following are examples of how mangofizz may use the information it collects:
- mangofizz uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on the mangofizz website. In some cases, our Products and Services cannot work unless you have volunteered accurate information (for example, we need your valid ZIP code/postal code to display certain information in your local area).
- mangofizz collects anonymous data and shares it with third-party advertisers in an aggregate form. We will disclose to those advertisers the numbers of mangofizz users who have certain demographic characteristics and the number of those people who have seen and "clicked" on a particular display. We will also disclose to those advertisers the overall demographics available regarding who saw and "clicked" on their advertisement. In addition, we may disclose anonymous results from online surveys to third-party advertisers or to mangofizz's product and service providers. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed as part of this process.
- mangofizz also uses the aggregate data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific areas of mangofizz, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of mangofizz are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately. Please note that we may share this aggregate information with third-party companies.
- mangofizz collects an aggregate list of search terms from its search services. This information is collected anonymously and used primarily for the purposes of product development, monitoring, and improvement, as well as targeted advertising. Please note, however, that we may share this anonymous information with third-party companies.
- mangofizz sometimes uses an individual registered user's data to "pre-populate" online forms that are displayed for the purpose of collecting additional individual data by the mangofizz website, selected third-party sites, and/or sponsors and advertisers.
- mangofizz may, from time to time, use your information to contact you about changes or enhancements to Products and Services on the mangofizz website, issues regarding your account, or mangofizz Terms and Conditions violations or suspensions.
- If you enter a contest on the mangofizz website, we will use the information you provided to contact you in the event you win.
- If you told mangofizz that you were interested in receiving special offers from select mangofizz clients, mangofizz or third parties on mangofizz's behalf, Fizoot (i) will send you email and postal mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you, and (ii) may combine information we have about you with information we obtain about you from third parties for the purpose of providing you with more appropriate products, services, and offerings. If you do not wish to participate in this program, please follow the opt-out instructions set forth in Section 8 of this policy.
- Subscription Customers: Your credit card information is used to collect your recurrent subscription fees or other pay services.
mangofizz shares the information that is collected.
Whenever you provide registration information on co-branded or private label sites, that data may be shared with the third-party company providing the service. You should make every effort to read the individual privacy policies of such third parties and make an informed decision on your own whether to continue based upon these sites' privacy practices and your own discretion. You may opt-out of sharing your information with such providers by choosing not to use that service or content.
When you find goods or services through mangofizz, you submit data directly to the individual merchants from whom you order goods or services. Please review carefully the privacy policies of particular merchants that you access through mangofizz.
In addition to finding co-branded and private label sites, you may find direct links on our site to sites offered by third parties. Some of these sites are authorized to use the mangofizz brands and/or logos. No third-party sites are covered by this Privacy Policy. If you feel that a site using a mangofizz brand and/or logo does not follow an acceptable privacy policy, please contact the mangofizz Privacy Site Coordinator by email at .
mangofizz may disclose information about individual users to third parties who agree to provide services to mangofizz and who agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These third parties will provide a variety of services to mangofizz, including, without limitation, processing and storing user information, helping to create new content and promotions for mangofizz, and sending or coordinating the sending of marketing communications that users have consented to receive. mangofizz will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoena, court order, or other legal process. In matters involving a danger to personal or public safety, mangofizz may voluntarily provide information to appropriate governmental authorities.
If you elect to receive mangofizz Registration Offers during registration for mangofizz, mangofizz will release personally identifiable information to the applicable sponsor or advertiser. Information released may include name, email address, postal address and other information supplied in the mangofizz registration process. Please note that the sponsor or advertiser will not be bound by this mangofizz Privacy Policy.
If mangofizz is acquired by or merged with another company, mangofizz may transfer personally-identifiable information about you to that company. mangofizz will notify you in the event that your personally-identifiable information is transferred under these circumstances and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
If a third party acquires, or otherwise receives in a transaction with mangofizz, one or more of the mangofizz Products and Services, then mangofizz will transfer personally-identifiable information about users of those Products and Services to the third party. The third party will handle the Products and Services in accordance with its own policies and procedures and not in accordance with mangofizz policies and procedures. You will be notified if your personally-identifiable information is transferred under these circumstances by an email sent to the email address you provided or by a posting on the site that offers the relevant Products or Services.

Security procedures that are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information.
mangofizz has security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user data under our control. mangofizz uses physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any personally identifiable data stored on its computers. Only authorized employees have access to the information you provide us. Any particularly sensitive information, such as a credit card number used to purchase services from mangofizz, is encrypted prior to transmission.
While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take many precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
You are ultimately responsible for the security of your mangofizz ID and password. Please take care when using and storing them. mangofizz recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if several people have access to your personal computer or you are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet cafe.
mangofizz’s compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 provides safeguards to protect children who use the Internet by regulating the online collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. Because of these safeguards, children under 13 are not able to access or use all Products and Services on the mangofizz website.
mangofizz’s software downloads policies.
mangofizz may make certain software available for download. This software may be created by mangofizz or by third party licensors. The software may be programmed to access our servers and/or third party servers in order for the software to operate and in order to check for program upgrades or enhancements. From time to time, new files may be added to your computer in order to upgrade the software or add new functionality to it. These changes may occur without notice to you. If at any time you wish to uninstall the software program, you may do so by following the instructions that accompany the software. Use of the software will be governed by a separate license agreement.
Where the personally-identifiable information is stored and processed.

What you can do to better protect yourself on the Internet.
Know the risks.
Meeting new people in an online community (discussion forum, newsgroup, message board, web page, etc.) is one of the best things about the Internet, but you should always be careful about disclosing personal information such as an actual name, member name, email address, and so on. This information may be collected and used by others within the online community to send unsolicited email messages from other parties, outside the mangofizz website. Some of the messages you receive may be useful to you, but some may not. In an effort to curtail unsolicited email, mangofizz blocks certain email addresses and domains from sending messages to us.
Educate yourself.
Search the Web for as much information as you can about how to protect your privacy. Look for a privacy policy on the Web sites you visit. The Federal Trade Commission has a great Web site with useful information. Additional privacy resources can be found at by clicking on any of the following links

While mangofizz works hard to protect children on the site, we cannot protect their privacy once they leave. Please teach children that they should not reveal their names or other personal information to anyone they encounter on the internet. They should also be instructed not to fill out any forms or register at any web site without your knowledge and consent. Parents can also prevent or limit a child’s access to inappropriate material on the Web by using commercially available parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services).
