To whom do we transfer your personal data and where are these recipients located?
As part of the provision of our website, we work with IT service providers who support us in the creation, operation and further development of the website and keep the website and its content stored on their servers. Furthermore, we use the tool of an IT service provider to analyze pseudonymous usage data (for more information on how we analyze usage data, see the section “What are cookies and what types do we use?“). The service providers we use in connection with the provision and operation of our website process personal data of the website users shared with them for this purpose as our data processor within the meaning of Art. 4(8) GDPR. We have therefore concluded data processing agreements with the service providers to protect your data.

Some of the aforementioned service providers with whom we cooperate are located in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so that a so-called data transfer of your personal data takes place. Some of the service providers are located in countries whose laws do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to the European data protection laws, this applies in particular to the United States of America (USA). In the event of a data transfer to such a country, we take additional appropriate safeguards to ensure the protection of your personal data, e.g. by agreeing the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission with the respective service providers. If you would like more information on this, in particular a copy of the safeguards we use, please contact us at gdpr@aramark.com

How long do we store personal data?
We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. The retention or storage periods result from business requirements and relevant laws.

Stored personal data will be deleted if you revoke any consent you have given us to process it, if the data is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which it was processed, or if its processing is inadmissible for other legal reasons.

(a) Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data collected about you.

(d) Revocation of consent: If we have obtained your consent to process your personal data in relation to a specific data processing process, you may revoke this consent for the future and prevent further data processing, unless another legal ground for permission is relevant. This right of revocation does not affect data that we process for other legal reasons. Your revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

(e) Right to restrict processing: You may request the restriction of the processing of certain personal data for the duration of a complaint procedure or for specific other reasons.

(f) Right to data portability: You may request that we electronically transfer your personal data that you have provided to us and which we still hold to another data controller.
