birth date and gender.
Pasta Pomodoro collects personal information voluntarily

to a recipient other than yourself, we will ask you to submit
personal information about someone other than you.
We may automatically collect general information about visitors
to our website, such as number of visitors, Internet Protocol
address, browser type, operating system and pages viewed,
but will not combine such data with any personal information.
We use this data in the aggregate to determine how visitors
use our website so we can improve your experience on our site.
We may provide this statistical information to third parties.
Notice and Choice
When personal information is collected, we will inform you
at the point of collection of the purpose for the collection.
If you choose to provide us with your personal information,
we may only transfer that information within Pasta Pomodoro
or to our third party service providers. Pasta Pomodoro will
not transfer your personal information to third parties without
your consent, except under the limited conditions described
under the section entitled "Information and Sharing Disclosure,"
below.
We will give you the opportunity to "opt out" of
receiving direct marketing information we send to you. This
means that we may use the information you provide for direct
marketing or market research information unless you take affirmative
action to indicate that you do not want to receive marketing
materials, for instance by clicking or checking the appropriate
option or box at the point of collection.
Finally, you can opt-out of receiving marketing information
at any time. If you do not want to be included on our email
or marketing list, you can easily opt-out by sending an email
to pasta@pastap.com.
How We Use Information Collected
Pasta Pomodoro uses personal information for several general
purposes: to provide a service you requested and to provide
special offers or other information we think you'd like to
hear about either from us or from our business partners, and
to better understand your needs and provide you with better
services. We may also use your information to send you, or
to have our business partners send you, direct marketing information
or contact you for market research.
Through our Job Opportunities page we ask you to submit a
substantial amount of personal information. It is stored on
electronic form and retained for up to 3 years for both hired and
non hired applicants. We do not share your information with
anyone outside of our company.

us without your permission, except under the conditions explained
in this Privacy Policy.

other companies or people under any of the following circumstances:
o We have your consent to share the information;
o We need to share your information to provide the product
or service you requested;
o We need to send the information to companies who work on
our behalf to provide a product or service to you, however,
we will only provide those companies the information they
need to deliver the service, and they will be prohibited from
using that information for any other purpose;
o If required to do so by law, or if we have a good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to comply with a court
order or subpoena, to cooperate with investigations by law
enforcement or regulatory authorities or to participate or

to protect personal safety, the public or our website; or

Data Security
Pasta Pomodoro safeguards the security of your personal information
with physical, electronic, and procedural measures. While
we strive to protect your personal information, limitations
inherent in these measures prevent us from completely securing
your personal information.
Children and Privacy
Our website offers features which do not require a child
to provide any personal information. We collect only limited
personal information from children under age 13 (such as their
birth date and email address) to respond to their online requests.
For example, we may collect a child's email address in order
to send the child a game or a coupon for a food item or a
toy, but in those instances we promptly delete the email address
from our database. We may also ask a child to provide an email
address of a parent so we can notify the parent or seek consent.
When a child joins our Kids Club, we collect and retain the
child's birthdate, nickname and email address solely to provide
the child with activities and offers provided by the Kids
Club. We will ask the parent for consent using the email address
supplied by the child and will delete the information collected
if consent is not received or upon request by the parent.
We will not collect or store more detailed information from
a child under 13, or share any child's information with third
parties, without the consent of a parent or guardian. We do
not require disclosure of more personal information than is
reasonably necessary for the child to participate in that
activity. The parent or guardian of a child whose information
we have collected may review the child's personal information,
ask to have it deleted, and refuse further collection or use
of the child's information by contacting us using the information
provided above in this Privacy Policy.
Links to Other Websites
We may offer links to websites that are not operated by Pasta
Pomodoro. Those third party sites are not under our control
and are not subject to this Privacy Policy. If you visit one
of these sites, you should review their privacy policies and
terms of use.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we
make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal
information we will make that information available by posting
a notice on our website. We may also, but are not required
to, notify you by email or regular mail.
