Information Collected
In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you
are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers
collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors.
Our web servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to place a
'cookie' (a small data file) on your computer's hard drive which
allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again,
in order to track statistical information about navigation to and
throughout certain areas of our site, and to ARAMARK services on
other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any
personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for
internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to
measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and is not
shared with anyone other than ARAMARK affiliates and contractors
who assist ARAMARK in these efforts and are bound to
confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you
can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is
placed.
In addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may
need to collect personal information from you for a specific
purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you
request. The information collected from you may include your name,
address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address. For our supplier
diversity area, we necessarily collect information about gender and
ethnicity, such as whether your business is female-owned.
Information obtained from our Careers Section will be used
solely for the purpose of accepting and evaluating your submission
for possible employment and the related purposes described on our
jobs site. In the event you provide us with any information
requested in the Careers section of this Web Site, your submission
will be governed by our Candidate Data Protection Standard, a copy
of which is available by clicking here.
We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad
server companies. From time to time, we may use customer
information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in
our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some
time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web site
to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to
opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your
information is used, you should check back at our Web site
periodically.
This Web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or
about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or
services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally
identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of
visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use
this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the
content of our site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name
and e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of
collection how we will use the personal information, such as the
Careers section of our Web Site. Usually, we use the personal
information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to
process your request (such as to receive electronic annual reports,
to be added to our supplier diversity database or to process your
request for employment). This information may be shared with other
ARAMARK businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request
or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information you provide with other
companies we have hired to provide services for us. These companies
- our vendors - are contractually bound to use personal information
we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them
to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information
about you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will
release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are
required by law to do so, or in other legally limited
circumstances.
If you register with one of ARAMARK's business units online,
they may use this information to provide you with custom
information about ARAMARK offerings in support of your business
needs. They may also seek to place a 'cookie' (small data file) as
discussed above in order to provide you with tailored information.
You should review the privacy policy associated with that ARAMARK
business' Web site for further information on privacy
practices.
Links to Other Sites
ARAMARK's Web site may contain links to other sites.
While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards
and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content,
security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and
administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from
unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to
information about you to those ARAMARK workers who need to know the
information to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers who
misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.
Access to Collected Information
You may review and update the information that you
provide to us through this Web site by contacting us as described
below.

Changes to this Policy

of any changes. Although we reserve the right to modify or
supplement this privacy policy, we will provide notice to you on
this Web site of any major changes for at least 30 days following
the change.
