Introduction

This policy describes the types of information processed by Pastisart S.A. (“Pastisart” or “we”) via our website pastisart.us (“Website”). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. We may make changes to the Privacy Policy from time to time. We, therefore, encourage you to check the Privacy Policy periodically for updates. 

What is “Personal Information”? 

Personal Information means any information that is related to an identified or identifiable person. This information can be your name, your email address, your contact information, and anything else that tells someone something about you. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us from the Contact Information section. 

Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It 

We collect several types of Personal Information from and about users of our Website, including: 

• Personal Identification Data includes your first name and last name, email address, your billing address, phone number, your home country, Internet Protocol (IP) address, or similar identifiers. 

• Communication Data includes your discussion with our customer support, other communications you send us, and your feedback that you communicate to us via email or social media. 

• Marketing Data includes names, mailing addresses, and email addresses. 

• Device Data which includes the device’s hardware information, operating system, platform information, browser type, language information, and browser plugin types. 

• Website Usage Data which includes information about how you use our Website and our services. 

We collect this information: 

• Directly from you when you provide it to us. 

• Automatically as you navigate through the site. Information collected automatically may include usage details, IP addresses, and information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. 

• From third parties, for example, our business partners. 

We may also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Information, but Aggregated Data is not considered Personal Information, as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing our Website and services. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Information which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may use information that is not Personal Information for any purpose.
