The information that you provide to G&A (sometimes referred to as the “company,” “we”, “us” or “our”) is utilized in order for us to (among other things) consider you as an employee, retain you as an employee and to maintain employment records.

This Notice to California Employees and Job Applicants (“Notice”) applies to our offline and online data collection practices, including when you submit personal information for purposes of applying for and/or becoming a valued employee at G&A, and in the course of your employment with G&A, pursuant to California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”).

This Notice is intended to inform California employees and job applicants of how G&A collects and uses their personal information and how the personal information they choose to provide to G&A will be protected under the CCPA and CPRA.

G&A uses consistent offline and online data collection practices for both California and non-California employees and job applicants, including with respect to collecting, disclosing, selling and sharing personal information of G&A employees and job applicants.

Please note that if you are visiting our website or locations in a personal capacity, any of your personal information collected in a non-employment capacity is subject to G&A’s Privacy Policy for consumers and applicable consumer rights.
