Yellowstone Pasta Company Privacy Policy
Welcome to Yellowstone Pasta Company! Here at Yellowstone Pasta Company, we aim to provide you exceptional handmade and handcut Montana pasta. Whether you consider yourself a pasta connoisseur or are new to the pasta world, we look forward to sharing our delicious pasta with you.
We operate our website (https://yellowstonepasta.com, or any successor or replacement website, the “Site”) to provide you with information about our pasta, including recipes and preparation tips, and allow you to establish an account and place an order for our monthly pasta subscription service (the “Subscription Service”). We don’t sell your personal information. When we collect personal information about you through our Site, we use that information to improve your experience and our services, contact you about our programs and activities, answer your questions, trouble-shoot problems, and fulfill your orders. You can find more information about what types of personal information we collect and what we do with it in this policy.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Site or the Subscription Service. We update this policy from time to time, so you should check back regularly for updates. Your continued use of this Site after we make changes is deemed to be agreement to and acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
This policy does not apply to information collected by us offline (when you interact with our employees in person or over the phone) and it does not apply to websites we do not own or control, even if we have provided a link to that website for your information or use.
Although most of our visitors call Montana home, we know that our customers come from all over the world. Without conceding that we have a legal obligation to comply with the laws of your home country or state, we want you to know that we are committed to protecting your information. If you have a question or concern about what we have covered in this policy, feel free to give us a call! We will do our best to address whatever concerns you may have.
Categories of Personal Data
For purposes of this policy, “personal data” means any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or an identifiable individual. Different states and countries use different definitions of “personal data” or “personal information.” Because we call Montana home, we use the definition in Montana’s Consumer Data Privacy Act. Common examples of personal data include your name and address, email address, registration and contact information, billing and payment information, and data about the device you are using to access our website or services. The personal data we collect depends on the extent of your interactions with our products and services, the features you use, and applicable law. The categories of personal data we collect can include the following:
Individual Identifiers. Identifiers such as your name, mailing address, unique personal identifier or user name, internet protocol (IP) address, email address, phone number, date of birth, and other similar identifiers. We use this information to register you for an account, which you will need to place an order for our Subscription Service.
Credentials. Customer codes, passwords, password hints, and similar security information used for authentication and guest account access.
Account History. Information about the services we have linked to your account, including your order history, mailing addresses, and account status.

Retail Sales
Our online store is hosted by Shopify, an e-commerce platform that includes a range of tools for selling across web, mobile, social media, and online marketplaces, managing products, inventory, payments, fulfillment, shipping, and engaging customers through marketing, advertising, and communications. Shopify routinely collects personal information about visitors to storefronts like ours through the use of cookies, a small amount of information that is downloaded to your computer or device when you visit certain websites. Shopify uses a number of different cookies to collect information about your activities on their hosted sites, including functional cookies used to remember choices you have made or information you have provided (like your username, language, or geographic region) and analytics or reporting cookies to collect information about how often you have visited certain sites and what you did while you were there. You can see a full list of the functional and analytics cookies placed by Shopify on our storefront here: https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies.

We do not control how Shopify’s cookies function or how Shopify uses your data beyond what is necessary to fulfill your order. For details on Shopify’s data practices, please refer to their legal documentation.
Payment Accounts
To maximize the number of payment options available for our guests, we have enrolled in multiple payment programs, including Shopify Payments, Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo. These payment options will appear as an accelerated checkout option on our checkout page. If you wish to make purchases using one of these options, you will need to sign up for that service separately, with the payment provider who owns the service (Shopify, Google, PayPal, and/or Venmo). Your use of these payment options is subject to the terms of your agreement with each provider. We do not control how these payment options function, the terms of use associated with your use of these services, or the payment provider’s use of your personal information.

If you would like to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal data, please contact us at the email address below. Remember to include “Privacy Rights Request” in the subject of your email, so we can get it to the right people. Once we have received your request, the first thing we will do is determine if we have collected and retained any of your personal data. If we are in possession of your personal data, we will confirm receipt of your request and contact you to verify your identity. The method by which we will verify your identity may vary, depending on the type and sensitivity of your personal data, the risk of harm to you, and the technology available to you. If we cannot verify your identity with reasonable certainty, we will deny your request and inform you that your identity could not be verified.

Please do not send us any sensitive personal information as part of your request. Should we require any information beyond your name and account number, we will contact you to discuss a secure and reliable means of transmitting that information to us.
Our resolution of your request will depend on the nature of the personal data and the purposes of our processing of your data. We reserve the right to decline your request if we are unable to authenticate your identity, if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that your request is fraudulent, or if your request exceeds what is required of us under applicable law. We may elect to fulfill your request without conceding the applicability of any legal requirement that would require us to do so.
Should we decline your request, you may submit an appeal of our decision to the following email address: yellowstonepasta@gmail.com. Please include “Consumer Privacy Appeal” in the subject of your email.
