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 only the domain or “IP address” of visitors. The data is not shared with anyone other than G&K Services’ affiliates and contractors who assist G&K Services in these efforts and who are bound to confidentiality.
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 requested information. The information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not generally used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure such things as 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 G&K Service's businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
Information obtained from our career web pages will be used solely for the purpose of accepting and evaluating your submission for possible employment and the related purposes described on these pages.
We will release information about you if you direct us to do so. 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 may use or share information collected from or provided by you if we believe it is necessary to enforce compliance with the web site’s Terms of Use, or to protect our service or the web site, our customers or others, in response to requests or subpoenas by law-enforcement authorities, or as may be required by judicial process.
