Pasta Pomodoro collects personal information voluntarily
submitted by you when you join our email list, when you participate
in a sweepstakes, contest or online survey, when you apply for an
employment position with us, or when you submit your personal

someone other than you. Personal information is any
information that may be used to identify you an individual,
including, but not limited to, your name, email address, postal
address, telephone number, birth date and gender.
We may automatically collect non-personally identifiable
information about visitors to our Website, such as number of
visitors, Internet Protocol address, browser type, operating system

information. We use this data in the aggregate to determine
how visitors use our Website so we can improve your experience on

third parties.

products, services, and Website;
- to tailor your experience on our Website or affiliated
microsites and the information sent through email to your
interests;
- to fulfill your request to send information or materials, such
as gift cards, to another party;

Pomodoro and, if hired, for employment and business-related
purposes. Such information is stored on electronic form and
retained for 3 years for both hired and non hired applicants.
We do not share your information with anyone outside of our

circumstances:
- when we have your consent to share the information. You
may grant such consent at the time you provide or transmit
information to us.
- to enable our business partners to send you direct marketing
information or contact you for market research;
- 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;
- to conform or comply with the 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 cooperate with a
judicial proceeding, or in urgent circumstances, to protect the
safety of persons or property, including this website; or
- in the event of a merger, consolidation or reorganization
involving Pasta Pomodoro, acquisition of Pasta Pomodoro by another
company, a sale of all or a portion of Pasta Pomodoro's assets, or
other similar transaction, your personal information will, in most
instances, be transferred to the control of a third party.
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," above.
We 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
purposes 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.
