We have created this Resume Submission Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to inform you of how we will use the personal information you submit through the online resume upload, job search and/or job application functions of the “Chef Application” section (the “Section”) of our public website (the “Site”). Please read this Policy carefully. Personal information submitted elsewhere on the Site will be used in accordance with our general Privacy Policy.

This Policy is governed by United States law.

You are free to decide what types of personal information, if any, to submit to us. Submitting your personal information is entirely voluntary. However, if you choose not to submit your personal information, this may limit our ability to consider your candidacy. Please read this Policy carefully.

    If you intend to provide us with details of a reference or any other third party as part of your resume, it is your responsibility to obtain consent from that third party prior to passing their personal information to us.

    You are responsible for the content of the information you provide to us and you must ensure it is legal, honest, truthful, accurate and not misleading in any way. You must ensure that the information provided by you does not contain material that is obscene, blasphemous, defamatory, infringing on any rights of any third party, or otherwise legally actionable by such third party.

    • to conduct background checks if you are offered a job;

    • to create and submit reports as required by law or regulation; and

    • to contact you about career opportunities.

    If you are hired by a client, any personal information that you submit may become a part of your file and may be used for other employment/work-related purposes.
