Personal Information does not include:
• Publicly available information from government records.
• Deidentified or aggregated consumer information.
• Certain information already covered by other laws and regulations.
Chavez Supermarket obtains the categories of Personal Information listed above directly, indirectly and from third parties:
• Directly from you - for example, when you submit a job application or your resume to Chavez Supermarket or when you sign up for benefits and payroll.
• Indirectly - for example, the information available on our internal network including by the use of cookies.
• From third parties- for example, recruiters who submit your information to us for an employment position that may interest you or publicly available job-related social media platforms, job-posting forums, and/or background check companies.
Chavez Supermarket may disclose information to authorized service providers who assist us with employment matters, such as payroll, recruiting and benefits. Unless you object, we may provide your address to other Chavez Supermarket employees on their request if they wish to send you a card or similar item.
In addition to the services providers above, any information we collect, including Personal Information, may be disclosed to certain third parties, for example, as part of any actual or potential merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets, or similar transaction, as well as in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which Personal Information could be transferred to third parties as one of our business assets.
We may also disclose Personal Information about you to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party if we believe that doing so is legally required or is necessary to protect our property or other legal rights (including but not limited to enforcement of our agreements or the rights of others).
We do not sell the Personal Information we collect or share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. Thus, we do not provide the ability to opt-out of such sales or sharing.
Your Personal Information is processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights.
In order to determine the most appropriate retention periods for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Information, the reasons for which we collect and process your Personal Information, best practices, and applicable legal requirements. Retention periods are also based on legal requirements that specifically apply to the legal services industry and our records retention policies. In general, we will retain Personal Information for seven (7) years from termination of your employment or relationship with us in order to comply with our legal obligations. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need or specific obligation to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it (see below) or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing. Some exceptions from static retention periods may occur. For instance, we cannot delete Personal Information when there are legal obligations to retain it (e.g., arising from tax or commercial law, or our obligations as legal advisors). Additionally, we cannot delete Personal Information when it is needed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (“litigation hold”). In this case, the Personal Information can be retained as long as needed for exercising respective potential legal claims.
In some instances, we may choose to anonymize your Personal Information instead of deleting it, for statistical use, for instance. When we choose to anonymize, we implement measures so there is no way that the Personal Information can be linked back to you or any specific individual.
If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights.
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your Personal Information. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill any request. To designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For instance, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) for certain reasons as permitted and set forth in the CPRA, such as to continue to administer our personnel relationship with you.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request by contacting us.
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable Consumer’s request. If applicable, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
If you have any questions or comments about this notice, the ways in which Chavez Supermarket collects and uses your information in the employment context (and in our website’s Privacy Notice for all other information), or your choices and rights regarding such use, please do not hesitate to contact us at:
