ALDI does not hire employees younger than 18 years of age. We therefore do not knowingly sell, or share for cross-contextual behavioral advertising, the Personal Information of applicants younger than 18 years of age.Global Privacy Control
Global Privacy Controls (“GPC”) and Do Not Track (“DNT”) offered by some web browsers are settings that automatically inform websites of your privacy preferences with regard to third party online tracking including exercising your rights and requesting the web application to disable tracking you. When you choose to turn on the GPC/DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and/or other web services you encounter while browsing to exercise your privacy rights and stop tracking your activity. You can learn more about and set up GPC here and set up Do Not Track here. We comply with GPC as required under applicable law, but because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to browser DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them.More Information
