Protecting your privacy is of particular importance to us. This applies if you visit our websites or contact us via telephone or e-mail. We would therefore like to inform you which data processing operations are involved when you visit our websites or contact us.

With the following information, we would like to explain how we protect your personal data, which data we collect and in which manner we provide stored data to third parties.

We reserve the right to amend the information provided in this data protection notice without prior notice. The version currently published here always applies.

1. General Information

1.1 Legal basis (EU General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act)

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) protects fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to the protection of personal data. Personal data means any information that permits identifying a natural person or relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, e-mail address, telephone number and IP-address.

To the extent we obtain a data subject's consent for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1), lit. a, GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1), lit. b, GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing steps that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as the processing of personal data from application documents.

If processing of personal data is mandatory due to a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art 6 (1), lit. c, GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing occurs for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, Art. 6 (1) (f), GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

1.2 Controller

The Controller in the definition of Art. 4 (7), GDPR is ALDI SÜD Kommanditgesellschaft, located at Michael-Walz-Gasse 18d, A-5020 Salzburg.

1.3 Collection and processing of personal data, length of storage and data recipients

We collect personal data when you disclose such information, for instance in the context of a job application, subscribing to the Job Alarm or when otherwise contacting us via our career portal (e.g., using the telephone number or e-mail address that are provided) or when you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies.

All personal data is collected, processed, and used in compliance with the applicable regulations for the protection of personal data, primarily for the purpose of providing you with information about current vacancies within the ALDI SÜD KG and to process your inquiries.

Unless otherwise specified in this data protection notice, your personal data will only be stored for the duration necessary for the respective purposes or until any applicable statute of limitations or statutory retention period expires.

Within the scope of operating our website, we cooperate with software service providers and agencies that may gain access to your personal data in the course of their activities. These entities are contractually obligated to comply with the relevant data protection regulations. Additional information on the service providers we cooperate with may be requested from privacy@aldi-sued.com.

If service providers are located in a country outside of European Economic Area, or if no adequacy decision by the European Commission is available for your country, we have implemented suitable guarantees for secure data transfer. Further information is available from privacy@aldi-sued.com.

When you consent to the use of cookies, plug-ins as well as analysis and retargeting tools, the collected data will be processed by the third-party providers listed below. These providers may have their registered business seat outside of Europe, for example, in the USA. As the European Court of Justice has ruled that the level of data protection in the USA is inadequate, we want to inform you of the risks associated with such data transfers. There is a risk that U.S. authorities will be able to access your transferred data for control and monitoring purposes. No effective legal remedy is available to prevent such access. If you agree to download cookies, plug-ins as well as analysis and retargeting tools, you also consent to the transfer of your data to the mentioned third countries (Art. 49 (1), lit. a, GDPR).     

It may be necessary to share your personal data with service providers in order to process your inquiries. Please refer to the modules below for further details.

In the course of corporate transactions, the necessary data may be disclosed and transferred to other companies of the ALDI SÜD Group. Within the scope of legal permissibility, other companies of the ALDI SÜD Group may thereby receive necessary data.

1.4 Rights of data subjects

  • right to object to processing on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 (1), GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

When you withdraw your consent, any data collected about you will be erased or anonymised and possibly included in statistical evaluations without personal reference. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent that occurred prior to the withdrawal.

1.6 Data security

We utilise all available state-of-the-art technical and organisational options to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorised access, and misuse. We transmit our e-mails (incl. Job Alarm) in encrypted format to securely communicate with you. Doing so protects the communication between you and our web server and helps to prevent data misuse by third parties.

Data Protection Policy for Social Media Channels

We’re happy that you are visiting our company page on one of the social media channels shown below. Protecting your personal data is a very high priority for ALDI SOUTH. Our aim is to provide you with interesting and extensive online content while also protecting your personal rights.

 

General information about the processing of data on social media channels

With respect to data protection law, processing within the area of responsibility of ALDI SOUTH must be distinguished from that which is exclusively in the area of responsibility of the platform operator. In addition, when visiting our company page, responsibility for some processing that is performed may be shared with the respective platform operator.

ALDI SOUTH uses third-party platforms to provide information about our company. We also employ social monitoring and social listening for further analysis purposes, such as to assess trends and sentiments or to present statistically processed data based on your legitimate interests.

Personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to process it – for example, until expiration of any guarantee, warranty, limitation and statutory retention period – and for a maximum of 36 months in the case of data not subject to any of the aforementioned periods. This also applies to comments or messages on social networks that have been subsequently deleted by the user. Storage of such data is subject to the aforementioned time limits in order to fulfil the communication purpose and enable a comprehensive analysis of public opinion and subsequent improvement of our communication, products and services.

As stipulated in Article 15 ff. GDPR, you may exercise your rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing and data portability of your stored data at any time.

If we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest as defined in Article 6 (1) f) GDPR, you have the right to object as defined in Article 21 GDPR.

To exercise your rights as described above, and if you have any questions about data protection, please contact us at privacysymbolaldi-suedpunktcom.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates legal provisions, you have the right to contact the competent supervisory authority (for Austria: www.dsb.gv.at).

 

Data protection notice for our Facebook fan page

We use the Facebook platform for our Facebook fan page and are jointly responsible for the operation of the page. ALDI SOUTH uses the site primarily as a platform for communicating with applicants and customers of the ALDI SOUTH Group. We also receive generic information from Facebook about how popular the posts are (e.g. the number of page views and the number of likes). The manner in which this data is collected and processed is the responsibility of Facebook. This also applies to the processing of the data exclusively for Facebook’s purposes. You can read about the obligations of the controllers resulting from joint controllership at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

Data processing by ALDI SOUTH

ALDI SOUTH uses the Facebook company page to provide content for and communicate with Facebook users.

ALDI SOUTH uses the “Page Insights” data provided by Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights) to present statistically processed data on the basis of Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. This enables us to determine, for example, the preferred visiting and posting times of our users, and to use this information to optimise our posts.

In addition, ALDI SOUTH processes all messages, likes and content that you submit, share or otherwise add on our social media pages to fulfil the purposes stated below. To gain insights into current topics and future trends, ALDI SOUTH also uses publications about our industry or other sectors that are relevant to ALDI SOUTH. We evaluate the posts made public on Facebook to learn how certain advertising measures are perceived by the public. ALDI SOUTH incorporates this knowledge into its communication with applicants and customers and can thus ensure it responds promptly to any applicant or customer concerns.

Personal data is processed in the course of communication between ALDI SOUTH and the applicant or customer and is used to process applicant and customer feedback about our products and our service as well as to improve our content. Data processing is based on Article 6 (1) b) GDPR (fulfilment of a contract as well as implementation of pre-contractual measures), Article 6 (1) c) GDPR (fulfilment of legal obligations), and Article 6 (1) f) GDPR (protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects). Insights from publicly accessible social media posts as described above are processed as defined in Article 6 (1) f) GDPR within the scope of the legitimate interests of ALDI SOUTH. Only the data that you make available on the social media platform (e.g. posts in text form and uploaded images) will be evaluated.

The collected data may be transmitted to service providers who are employed by ALDI SOUTH for a specific purpose. The required data may be disclosed and transmitted to other companies of the ALDI SOUTH Group in the course of corporate business transactions. Other companies in the ALDI SOUTH Group may therefore receive necessary data to the extent it is legally permitted. Where service providers are based in a third country, the appropriate level of data protection is ensured by concluding standard contractual clauses. You can receive detailed information by sending a request to the e-mail address below.

Your data will be stored in personalised form for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose (see General information). The “Page Insights” data provided by Facebook is only transmitted to us anonymously, which is why we do not store any personal data in this regard at any time.

 

Data processing by Facebook

Generation and provision of the “Page Insights” data (https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights) is the responsibility of Facebook. The processing of personal data associated with this is performed exclusively at Facebook.

For details about the type and extent of the information you provide to Facebook, the related purposes of the data processing, its lawfulness and information on how to exercise your rights, please refer to the data policy and other information provided by Facebook about the processing of “Page Insights” data.

Cookies are set in connection with this by Facebook. For more information on these cookies, please visit www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/.

You can view Facebook’s privacy policy at www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

Information on page statistics is available at www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights.

You may assert your rights against Facebook with respect to the “Page Insights” data generated and provided by Facebook.

As a registered and logged-in Facebook user, you can find information about how to exercise your rights in your user account settings or at the following link: www.facebook.com/dyi, or you can contact Facebook at www.facebook.com.
