This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) governs the terms upon which GPS Hospitality, LLC (together with its affiliates, parent and/or subsidiaries, being referred to herein as “GPS Hospitality” or “we” or “us”) offers access to the www.gpshospitality.com website and any other of its affiliated websites that refer or link to this Notice (collectively, “the Website”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
We only collect personal information through the Website when you provide it to us. For example, we may collect your name, email address, phone number and/or physical address, if you provide them, when you use the “contact us” or “customer feedback” features on the Website.
The Website includes a Careers tab, which links to a separate job application website operated by the third-party Avature Limited (“Avature”) on behalf of GPS Hospitality (the “Career Pages”). When applying for a job through the Career Pages, you may enter your information directly into certain form fields, upload your resume and personal information automatically, and/or upload your information using your accounts with certain social media or other internet websites, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, and Indeed.com (the “Third Party Sites”). We do not control the data you provide to Third Party Sites and your use of any Third Party Sites remains subject to any applicable terms of use, terms of service, privacy policy, or other policies or requirements applicable to them. However, if you choose to apply for a job through the Career Pages using your account(s) with any Third Party Sites, information from your profile from the Third Party Sites will be provided to us in connection with your application. The information collected about you on the Career Pages may include your personal information, including your name, address, phone number, email address, education and employment history, date of birth, and other information you provide in order to be considered for employment opportunities with GPS Hospitality. Personal information you submit through the Career Pages is subject to this Notice and, because it is submitted to and collected by Avature, is also subject to such party’s respective separate privacy policy at: https://www.avature.net/website-privacy-policy/. If and to the extent Avature shares prospective employees’ personal information collected through the Career Pages with us, we will treat it according to this Notice – as if it were submitted to us directly through the Website.

DO NOT TRACK REQUESTS
We do not currently take actions to respond to “do not track” signals sent by your web browser because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed.
