OUR COMMITMENT

Pasta on the Floor (“PASTA”) is committed to maintaining the privacy of information that you provide to us when using our website (hereafter referred to collectively as the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes how we treat information received about you when you visit or use the Service.

We may make content or services from other websites available from links on the Services. These other websites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policy at each such website to determine how that site protects your privacy.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

General: When you register, and at other times, we will collect personally identifiable information from you that may include, among other things, your name, age, address, e-mail address, credit card number, and facts about your computers, profession, and similar information.

Website Usage Information: When you visit this website, we may collect certain technical and navigational information, such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on this website. This information may be used, for example, to alert you to software compatibility issues or to resolve technical or service problems, or it may be analyzed to improve this website and functionality and our ability to service you and your accounts. 

HOW WE USE INFORMATION COLLECTED

We may use information in the following ways:

  • For the purposes for which you specifically provided the information, for example, to enable us to process, validate and verify subscriptions.
  • To send you e-mail notifications about our new or existing products and services, special offers, or to otherwise contact you.
  • To enhance existing features or develop new features, products, and services.
  • To provide advertisers and other third parties with aggregate information about our user base and usage patterns.
  • To allow us to personalize the content and advertising that you and others see based on personal characteristics or preferences.

In certain instances, we may contract with nonaffiliated companies to perform services for us. Where necessary, we will disclose the information we have about you to these third parties. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and only for that purpose. And, we require these third parties to treat your private information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do.

Finally, we will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are compelled by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to prevent fraud).

These technologies provide a high level of security and privacy when you access your account information, initiate online transactions, or send secure messages.

The website uses cookies to identify you and your interests and to track usage of the website. Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your computer that help us know which browser you are using and where you have been on the website and on websites to which you may link in order to use some of our features.

HOW WE SAFEGUARD YOUR INFORMATION

We restrict access to information about you to those of our employees who need to know the information in order to perform their jobs, such as servicing your accounts or notifying you of new products and services. To protect your personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in keeping with industry standards and practices, and we review and adjust these safeguards regularly in response to advances in technology.

By the very nature of the Internet, information collected on the website may be transferred from time to time throughout the world, including domain or hosting servers and routers located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), and the website may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws regulating the use and transfer of personally-identifiable data.

By using the website and submitting such information on it, you voluntarily consent to such transborder transfer and hosting of such information.

About Me

KarenHello and welcome.
I am often asked, “What is Pasta on the Floor?”
Pasta on the Floor is different for everyone. It is a recipe that tells a story and inspires them to try something new. For others, stories of family, joy, loss, and hope engage with them. This brings me a great deal of happiness. I do not take myself too seriously, so be forewarned the subject matter is open and truthful. In many ways, Pasta is a tale of life, and I think you will find familiarity and commonality as you scroll through these pages.
