<p>Astro Mike Media LLC (“Service Provider,” “we,” “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors to https://mikemassimino.com (the “Site”). The following privacy policy (the “Policy”) covers our collection of information on the Site only, however it is accessed or used (whether on computer, mobile devices or otherwise). The purpose of this Policy is to inform our visitors (“you,” or “your”) about the types of information we gather about you when you visit our Site, how we may use that information, with whom it is shared, what choices you have regarding our use of your information and how you may access some of the information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may provide to us, or that we may collect, offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone or through email) or to information collected on any other website or application.</p>
<p>Because the internet is an evolving medium, we may need to change the Policy from time to time and, accordingly, we reserve the right to change this Policy at any time by posting a new privacy policy at this location. Therefore, we encourage you to refer to this Policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our Policy and are aware of any changes. Continued access will constitute your acceptance of any such changes. To the extent we provide notice to you on the Site that different or additional privacy policies or practices apply (for example, at the point we collect your personal information), those additional terms shall govern such data collection and use.</p>
<p>PLEASE READ THIS POLICY CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SITE: BY VISITING THE SITE, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE, AND ANY DISPUTE OVER OUR ONLINE PRIVACY PRACTICES (INCLUDING OUR COLLECTION, USE AND SHARING OF YOUR INFORMATION AND DATA) ARE GOVERNED BY THIS POLICY.

<p><strong><u>FULL PRIVACY POLICY</u></strong></p>
<p><u>Personally Identifiable Information</u></p>
<p>At various locations on our Site, such as when you contact us through the Site, we may request that you supply us with personally identifiable information, e.g., name, e-mail address, postal addresses, home, work and/or mobile telephone number, birth date and/or gender (such information is referred to as “Personal Information”). We may collect Personal Information in various places on the Site, including when you submit information in one of our “Contact” forms or otherwise interact with us. We may survey visitors about various topics, including how we can improve our Site and services, and certain of the information you submit for such surveys may be personally identifiable information. Response to our surveys is entirely voluntary. We may also provide you with an opportunity to learn more information about selected companies who we think can offer you services and products of interest to you. If you do not want your Personal Information collected, please do not submit it to us. We and our third-party service providers may use various currently existing technology and methods and/or methods and technology that are subsequently developed to collect, process and store the Personal Information.</p>
<p>When you do provide us with Personal Information we may use that information to respond to your inquiry, better understand your needs and how we can improve our Site and your browsing experience, and in order to provide you with information tailored to your specific interests and preferences. We may also use Personal Information to contact you, for example, to answer a question or respond to a comment you have submitted directly to the Site or through a third-party social media site that interacts with or is embedded on the Site (for example, Mike’s Twitter feed), to customize your experience on the Site, to provide information or services you requested, to request feedback, distribute newsletters, to enable you to participate in (including to notify the winner(s) of) promotions sponsored by us or conducted through the Site and allow participation in Interactive Areas, for internal business purposes and as otherwise set forth in this Policy. In addition, we may use your Personal Information to keep you up to date on the latest product and event announcements, special events, book signings, appearances and for communicating other information we think you would like to hear about.</p>
<p>Except as expressly set out in this Policy, or as disclosed when you sign up for, or otherwise provide information to use, or participate in, an optional feature on the Site (e.g., signing up for newsletters), we will not disclose any personally identifiable information to a third party without your express prior authorization, nor will we use that information for any purpose other than as described in this Policy.</p>
<p>Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, as amended we do not knowingly request or accept personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without verifiable consent.

<p><u>Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect and May Process and Store</u></p>
<p>When you visit or use our Site, in addition to Personal Information described above, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically and/or passively also collect, process and store other information. Examples of this type of information include your IP address or other unique device identifier (which device identifier is automatically assigned and is used by our (and our third-party service providers’) computers use to identify your device), the type of Internet browser or computer operating system you use, demographic information (your age, gender, income, education, profession, zip code, etc.), the date and time you visited our Site, your device location, your mobile network, the pages and advertisements you accessed, your media consumption on the Site (e.g., video viewing), the name of the website from which you linked to our Site and other data involving your use of our Site (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may be non-identifying or may be associated with your Personal Information. Aggregate information is not linked to your Personal Information. We also may ask for additional information (e.g., your favorite foods, brands and interests) which you have the option not to provide. We and our advertisers and third-party service providers may use various currently existing technology and methods and/or methods and technology that are subsequently developed to collect, process and store the Usage Information. This policy in no way restricts or limits our collection, processing and use of aggregate information and we may use and share this information with third parties to analyze trends, to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use and for marketing and promotional purposes.</p>
<p>Without limiting anything set out elsewhere in this Policy, we can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use or to protect the Site, customers, or other individuals. We also reserve the right to use or disclose non-personally identifiable information in any manner we see fit, including for purposes of improving the Site.</p>
<p>Some of the technologies we currently use to collect information include the following:</p>
<p>Cookies, Web Beacons & Similar Technologies</p>
<p>Cookies: We may use “cookies” – small pieces of data or text files that are stored on your computer tied to information about you. This information will help us enhance your experience on the Site (e.g., the option of saving your username and password, if any, for the Site by placing a cookie on your personal computer). Cookies can store non-personally identifiable information, such as your IP address, what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser has accessed and may be tied to the Personal Information you knowingly choose to provide to us.</p>
<p>Cookies help establish a user session and allow our server to correctly provide site users with the appropriate information, advertisements and services. We use both persistent and session cookies, as well as embedded scripts. Session cookies and embedded scripts exist only for as long as your browser remains open. When the session ends, the browser is closed and the cookies and embedded scripts are deleted or deactivated. Persistent cookies, in contrast, last from visit to visit. Persistent cookies are saved on a visitor’s computer by the browser and do not go away when you exit your browser. We may use both types of cookies to enable us to collect aggregate information on the usage patterns of our Site, such as what areas of the Site are visited most often, so we can tailor our Site to user preferences. Some of our advertisers and sponsors occasionally serve you cookies as well. We do not have control over cookies placed by advertisers or sponsors. We may also use advertising service vendors to help display or present advertisements on the Site and/or provide analytic information regarding such advertisements. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve you advertisements tailored to interests you have shown by browsing on this and other websites you have visited, to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before and to avoid sending you duplicate advertisements. In doing so, you may voluntarily furnish Personal Information to such vendor and/or these vendors may also collect Usage Information (see above for more information). Even if they use our technology to track, collect or store data, the use of cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies by these advertisers, sponsors and advertising service vendors is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours, and Service Provider disclaims all liability in connection therewith. If you do not want the benefits of these advertising cookies, you may be able to opt-out in the United States by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp; note that “opting-out” through these procedures does not mean that you will not receive targeted content and/or ads from third parties that are sent by companies that are not the National Advertising Initiative members with respect to which you opted-out. If you are located in the US, you may also opt-out of received third party behavioral ads on the Site by opting-out on the Digital Advertising Alliance website at www.aboutads.info/choices.</p>
<p>A “Flash” cookie is placed on your device via the Adobe Flash plug-in that may be built into or downloaded to you to your device; information regarding disabling Flash cookies can be found on Adobe’s website at www.adobe.com. “HTML5” cookies do not require a plug-in.</p>
<p>Most Internet browsers can be set to refuse to accept cookies, although this may affect your Internet experience. You can also erase cookies that are already on your computer, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Each browser you use will need to be set separately, and each browser offers different functionality and options, and browser settings may not effectively block or disable Flash cookies or HTML5 cookies. Please refer to your browser instructions or “help” screen to learn more about these functions.</p>
<p>Beacons:</p>
<p>We may use “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, 1-by-1 GIFs, and web bugs) – tiny graphic files placed on a Web page or electronic message which send a signal when a user has visited that page or message – allowing the Site to collect standard access information, such as time and date of a page or message view, and a description of the page or message on which the web beacon resides. We use web beacons to help manage the effectiveness of our online advertising and to gather access information, such as counting the users who have visited those pages, compiling aggregated statistics about Site usage and monitoring how users navigate the Site.</p>
<p>Other Technology:</p>
<p>Certain mobile service providers identify individual mobile devices and we and our third-party service providers may receive such information if you access the Site through a mobile device. Additional information may be collected when you use a mobile device to access the Site, including your mobile phone number and the physical location of your device; this information may be collected by your mobile service provider, our Site or our third-party service providers and such information may be shared with us.</p>
<p>Our Site or our third party service providers may use geo-tracking software (or other location based service software).</p>
<hr/>
<p><strong><u>E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS</u></strong>.</p>
<p>When you provide us with your e-mail address, for example, when you submit one of our “Contact” forms, we share that information with our third-party service providers. We may also use e-mail addresses to occasionally deliver information relevant to you, such as special events, benefits, newsletters, promotions, surveys and notification of other noteworthy news items. If you send us contact form or an e-mail with questions or comments, we may use the personal information provide to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. However, we will provide you with the option to change your preferences and “opt-out” of receiving those communications. You may request at any time that we not e-mail you in the future by clicking the “unsubscribe” link which is included at the bottom of any e-mail communication that you receive from us and hitting send, or by contacting us at [email protected] When contacting us by e-mail, please insert “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line and the body of the message. If you unsubscribe, you should assume that your request has been received and is being processed. Please allow us ten (10) business days from our receipt of your request to complete the removal of your e-mail address from our database. As some of our promotions may have been in process before you submitted your *unsubscribe” request, we will make reasonable efforts to discontinue these e-mail communications as soon as practicable.</p>
<hr/>
<p>USER GENERATED CONTENT, SOCIAL MEDIA AND PUBLIC INFORMATION</p>
<p>You may be permitted to submit photographs, recipes, questions, video, comments, suggestions or other content directly through the Site or through one or more social media applications embedded in the Site (e.g., Twitter), which may include your Personal Information (collectively the “User Generated Content”).

In addition, if some or all of the assets of our business are sold to a third party, such third party will be entitled to use the Personal Information disclosed by users of our Site, as well as the Usage Information.

<hr/>
<p><strong><u>THIRD PARTY WEBSITES, APPLICATIONS AND CONTENT</u></strong>.</p>
<p>Our Site contains links to other websites and may embed third party applications (for example, Mike’s Twitter feed), as well as functionality that permits certain kinds of sharing and other interactions between the Site and your account(s) (and other persons’ and businesses’ accounts) on third party websites or applications, including but not limited to, links to advertisers’ websites and sharing with social media sites and applications. Those advertisers and other third party websites and applications may collect Personal Information, Usage Information and other information when you “click” on their advertisement (which may take you off our Site and redirect you to another website or application that we do not control), when pages from our Site are served to them or when you interact with their website or application in other ways from our Site. Third party service providers may implement or facilitate these sharing and other interactions. Note that when you use any “sharing” or social media functionality we provide on our Site, your email address, name, user name or other Personal Information may be included in the information that is visible on our Site or the third party’s website or application, or included in what you send to your addressee(s).

In addition, some or all of these third parties websites, applications and/or service providers may share your personal information with us. These third parties may retain your personal or other information, and their practices are not subject to our Privacy Policy; you should review the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of the applicable third party sites or applications before you use their tools on our Site, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices or policies, nor do we endorse any such other websites, tools or applications. This Policy applies solely to information collected by our Site and does not cover information collected elsewhere, including without limitation on websites linked to from the Site.</p>
<hr/>

<hr/>
<p><strong><u>ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SHARING</u></strong></p>
<p>Though we make every reasonable effort to preserve the privacy of our users’ Personal Information, in addition to the uses and information sharing described above, we may need to disclose Personal Information as required by law, rule or regulation or where we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority or other legal process. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. In addition, we reserve the right to use or disclose Usage Information and other non-Personal Information in any way we see fit.</p>
<p><strong><u>SITE LOCATION</u></strong></p>
<p>The Site is operated in the United States and is intended for use by users located in the United States (including the District of Columbia and the US territories and possessions). If you are located outside of the United States, please be advised that the Personal Information, Usage Information and other information we collect will be transferred to, processed and stored in the United States, and may also be transferred, processed, stored and/or used outside the United States. The US data protection laws may differ from those of the location in which you reside and your Personal Information and/or Usage Information may be subject to access requests or demands from governments, courts or law enforcement in accordance with the laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. By using the Site you consent to the transfer, use and storage of your Personal Information and Usage Information in the United States or outside the United States by third parties with whom we share such information pursuant to this Policy.</p>

<hr/>
<p><strong><u>CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS</u></strong>.</p>
<p>Pursuant to California Civil Code section 1798.83, a California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship has the right to request from that business certain information regarding whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom such personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed, upon receipt of a request by a California resident. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right. As described in this Policy, Service Provider does not disclose such personal information of a California resident to any third party for its direct marketing purposes without consent.</p>
<p><strong><u>GENERAL DATE PROTECTION REGULATION (EU) RIGHTS</u></strong>. Under the General Data Protection Regulation, if you work, normally live or allege an infringement of data protection laws occurred anywhere in the European Union, you have a number of important rights free of any charge. In summary, those include the right to access your personal data in a commonly used machine-readable format, require US to correct any mistakes in Your information that we hold, under certain circumstances erase your personal data, object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing or (in certain other situations) for other purposes, claim compensation for damages caused by our breach of any data protection laws. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the European Union (or European Economic Area) in the state where you work, normally live or where any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred.</p>
