At various locations on our Site, such as when you register, subscribe, contact us, participate in surveys, promotions, chat rooms, bulletin boards, message boards, article or blog comment areas, SMS text messaging, mobile alerts and mobile email updates, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with "Personally Identifiable Information" (such as your name, home address, telephone number, gender, birth date, email address or credit card information). If you decide not to provide us with your Personally Identifiable Information, you can still access our Site but you may be unable to participate in certain things, or receive information about certain products or services offered through our Site.
What does Lidia's Italy do with Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Site?
We collect and use the Personally Identifiable Information you voluntarily provide to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Site to communicate with you regarding products and services offered by Lidia's Italy and our affiliates and partners and other topics we think you might find of interest; the administration of sweepstakes, contests or other promotions; and to process e-commerce transactions. In addition, we may use your Personally Identifiable Information to keep you up to date on the latest product and event announcements, restaurant openings, special events, book signings, appearances and for communicating other information we think you would like to hear about. We may also use that information to contact you, for example, to answer a question or respond to a comment you have submitted, request feedback, distribute our newsletters, notify the winner(s) of any promotions sponsored by us or conducted through the Site and allow participation in interactive media.
Consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we do not knowingly request or accept Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without verifiable consent. If we learn that Personally Identifiable Information of persons under thirteen (13) years of age has been collected on the Site, we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
Please note that this Policy applies only to information collected by Lidia's Italy online and does not impact information collected or used by Lidia's Italy, its related companies or its affiliates through other means.
What types of Personally Identifiable Information does Lidia's Italy collect on the Site?
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For instance, you may choose to become a member of the Site ("Member") in order to participate in certain activities on the Site and enjoy special benefits offered only to Members.

Does Lidia's Italy collect any other information about visitors to the Site?
We constantly seek to make improvements to the Site. As part of these efforts, we collect and analyze certain "Aggregate Information" (information that does not allow us to identify a specific individual such as demographic information, purchase categories (e.g., home furnishings), or visitors using a particular browser to access the Site) about how visitors use the Site.
What does Lidia's Italy do with Aggregate Information collected on the Site?
Aggregate Information collected on the Site may be used and disclosed in any way. For example, we may collect and analyze collected Aggregate Information to determine how many visitors arrived at certain pages of the Site, how long they stayed on those pages, and where they went afterwards. This information allows us to determine which pages might be the most interesting to our visitors and enables us to provide them with a better and richer experience on the Site. Additionally, we may use Aggregate Information to improve the performance of our Site, and to customize the content and layout of our Site pages for you.
As a further example, occasionally, we share Aggregate Information with third parties, such as our advertisers and business partners, for marketing and promotional purposes. Aggregate Information gleaned from your use of the Site may also be used to inform you of new areas of the Site and product specials.
Please note that certain Aggregate Information may be linked with Personally Identifiable Information. Any such linked information will be treated as Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes of this Policy as long as it is so linked. Does Lidia's Italy share information with other companies?
We may operate sweepstakes, contests, and similar promotions through the Site. We typically ask you for certain Personally Identifiable Information when you enter and, if applicable, win a sweepstakes, contest, or similar promotion. We reserve the right to share this Personally Identifiable Information with third party sponsors of such sweepstakes, contests, and promotions (irrespective of whether it is hosted by us), or otherwise in accordance with the rules applicable to such sweepstakes, contest, or promotion. You should carefully review the rules of each sweepstakes, contest and promotion in which you participate through the Site, as they may contain additional important information about Lidia's Italy sponsor or a sponsor's use of your Personally Identifiable Information. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of your Personally Identifiable Information conflict with this Policy, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control.
Please be aware that on certain portions of the Site (e.g., on _____________________________) Personally Identifiable Information may be collected and used by both Lidia's Italy and the third party who operates that portion of the site. We will inform you of such dual collection at the point that we collect such Personally Identifiable Information. Additionally, if you choose to provide Personally Identifiable Information through that portion of the Site, we may share additional Personally Identifiable Information, (e.g., your email address), with the third party to permit them to better serve you. In other instances, we may operate certain programs in conjunction with a third party. If we do so, we will inform you that both Lidia's Italy and one or more third parties are collecting your Personally Identifiable Information in connection with these programs, or that Lidia's Italy will be providing your Personally Identifiable Information to one or more third parties in connection with these programs. Please be aware that Lidia's Italy use of Personally Identifiable Information will be governed by this Policy and the third party's use of Personally Identifiable Information will be governed by the third party's policy. Lidia's Italy has no control over, and is not responsible or liable for, any third party's use and/or disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information. If you would prefer that these third parties not have access to your Personally Identifiable Information, please do not provide any Personally Identifiable Information through these portions of the Site or in connection with these programs.
In the event there is a change in the corporate structure of Lidia's Italy such as, but not limited to, merger, consolidation, sale, liquidation, or transfer of substantial assets, Lidia's Italy may, in its sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign information collected on and through this Site, including without limitation, Personally Identifiable Information concerning visitors, to one or more affiliated or unaffiliated third parties.
