We place cookies on your end device, by means of which the data specified below is collected and then processed for the purposes stated below.

• Technically necessary: These are cookies and similar technologies without which you cannot use our Services (for example, to display our Services correctly, including font and colour, to provide the functions you have requested and to take your settings into account, to save your registration in the login area, etc.).
• Convenience: These technologies allow us to take into account your preferences to offer you the best user experience on our website and the Lidl app. For example, we can use your settings to display our Services in a language that suits you. In this way, we also avoid showing you products that may not be available in your region.

13.3.2 Selected Services

Google Ads Customer Match:

We use the "Google Ads Customer Match" Service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Lists of user data are sent to Google servers with the help of the tracking technologies we use. Google then compares whether the transmitted user data matches data from Google customers and then creates target groups that can be used to target adverts. The adverts can be displayed within the Google network (YouTube, Gmail or within the search engine) as well as across devices (known as remarketing or retargeting).

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google for the use of Google Ads Customer Matching in accordance with Article 28(3) GDPR. Through this contract, Google guarantees that it will process the personal data in accordance with the/our instructions and guarantee the protection of data subject rights.

Information on how Google uses personal data transmitted to Google by integrating Services and on your setting options for personalised advertising and data collection can be found at here and here. General information on data processing by Google can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.

Meta/Facebook:

Facebook Custom Audience enables us to create target groups and to design and display personalised advertisements on Facebook in line with requirements.

This involves uploading lists of user data to Facebook. Facebook then compares whether the transmitted user data matches data from Facebook users and then creates target groups that can be used to target adverts on Facebook. With Custom Audience, we ensure that only people who have previously visited our app or are interested in our products are shown adverts on Facebook. Facebook also uses the data for its own advertising purposes and for the advertising purposes of third parties.

Further selected data processing in connection with self-promotion:

With your consent, we use special technologies from partners so that we can record your surfing/browsing behaviour and display advertising tailored to you on our website, the Lidl app or our partners' platform (Facebook, , TDD, RTB House and TikTok). Our partners can also compare the data collected on these Services with their own databases.

Microsoft Advertising and Google Advertising can be used to display targeted advertisements via the Microsoft and Google networks (e.g. in search engines and email programs), optimise them and track the activities of users on our website if they have reached our website via advertisements.

Technically necessary:

• Authentication data to identify a user after login in order to gain access to authorised content on subsequent visits (e.g. access to the Lidl Plus customer account);
• Security-related events (e.g. detection of frequently failed login attempts);
• Data required to playback multimedia content (e.g. playback of (product) videos selected by the user);

• Previously visited page (referrer URL),
• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address; this is regularly anonymised so that it cannot be traced back to you),

We only merge the user ID with other data from you (e.g. name, email address, etc.) with your express consent (see e.g. Section 8 of this Data Protection Notice).

You can reset or deactivate the IDFA or Google GAID, the Android advertising ID and the Huawei ID at any time via your operating system.

Recipients outside of the EU or the UK

If we transmit data to recipients in a third country (based outside the European Economic Area or the UK), you can find more information on the recipients / categories of recipients in the description of the respective data processing activity. The European Commission certifies that some third countries have a data protection standard that is comparable to the level in the European Economic Area. These are called adequacy decisions. A list of these countries can be found here.

If the data protection standard in a country should not be adequate, we ensure that data protection is guaranteed by other measures, for example binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates, or recognised codes of conduct. Please contact our Data Protection Officer (Section 19) if you would like to find out more information on this.

Storage duration / criteria for determining the storage duration:

The relevant personal data is not permanently stored by Lidl, but only viewed and analysed to understand where we can potentially take action and do better.

17. Transfers to recipients in third countries

Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for us to transfer your personal data to recipients in a third country or several third countries outside the UK.

The UK Data Protection Authority has certified some third countries as having a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR by means of an adequacy decision. You can find an overview of third countries with an adequacy decision here. For service providers based in the USA, this only applies if they are certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Bots are used, for example, to obtain passwords for customer accounts or to restrict the functionality of the website through mass data transfers.

Google reCAPTCHA determines whether the interaction with the website is by a human user or a bot.

This analysis starts automatically as soon as you open the registration page.

The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-mentioned purposes of processing.
