Last Updated: October 7, 2024
This Employee and Job Applicant CCPA Notice (“Notice”) is applicable to California residents only and describes the categories of employee and job applicant personal information that may be collected by CAVA Group, Inc. and its direct or indirect subsidiaries (collectively, “CAVA,” “we,” “us,” “our”) and the purposes for which such information may be collected, used, and disclosed. We reserve the right to amend this Notice at any time without advance notice.
Personal Information We Collect
When you apply for a job with CAVA and throughout your employment with us, we collect personal information about you, your work, your work history, your education, and your job performance to assess your qualifications, to comply with employment laws and other obligations, to maintain the quality of our products and services, and to provide a safe workplace for you. We primarily obtain this personal information directly from you – for example, during the application and onboarding process or during your employment.
Some personal information about you might be automatically generated by your use of company-owned or company-managed equipment, applications, or systems, or the devices you choose to connect to our networks. Your personal information may also be obtained from other parties, such as your manager, a recruiter, your employment references, or our Human Resources team.
The table below shows personal information that CAVA commonly collects from California job applicants and employees (including personal information that has been collected in the past 12 months). Personal information you are asked to provide will vary depending on your position and may include only some of the personal information on the table or personal information not included in the table.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information
We use your personal information to process your application for employment, to ensure you receive employment benefits, to fairly evaluate and compensate you, and to provide other services we offer to our California employees. Any CAVA Group companies may have access to the personal information of California job applicants and employees.
We may disclose personal information outside the company as reasonably necessary to meet our business needs as long as the disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law. CAVA does not “sell” or “share,” as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act, the personal information of California job applicants or employees.
CAVA engages vendors to provide services for us. We may disclose your personal information to our vendors – for example, to help us handle the processing of our payroll, to provide benefits to our employees, to assist with our recruitment and hiring, or as part of an audit of our company. We ensure that our vendors are obligated to protect personal information that we entrust to them in compliance with applicable law and to maintain the confidentiality and security of personal information.
We may disclose your personal information to another party if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or our assets to a third party, including during the negotiations of such sale or transfer. We also may disclose your personal information when required to protect you or ensure the safety of other people, to protect or defend our rights or property or those of others, or to comply with law enforcement or other public authority requests. We disclose personal information to state and federal government authorities for required reporting purposes, including those related to unemployment benefits, EEO reporting, and tax reporting.

We rely on the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of your personal information to be able to comply with our business obligations. To help us with this, we expect you to report any changes to your personal information, such as changes to your contact information, name, marital status, or other information that might affect the benefits and services we provide to you. You should report such changes or other inaccuracies in your personal information to [email protected].
