1.6.3 Social Media Walls
Purposes of the Processing/Legal Bases:
In addition to the information you provide us directly via social network platforms ("platforms"), we also use "social walls" to present content shared by you on platforms relating to our Group. To that end, for instance, as part of individual marketing campaigns or prize draws, publicly available content from platforms that you have posted using a specific hashtag is displayed together on a wall integrated into our website.
Only those posts are processed which you have made freely available to the public (public posts).
The scope of the data collected relates to various content that has been publicly published on platforms (timestamps, post IDs, post texts, images, videos, links, comments, ratings) and is primarily determined by the type and content of the respective post. In addition, attachments and metadata (technical data on publications) of platform content can be shared, as well as corresponding user data (first and last name, user ID, profile URL, profile pictures, website URL).
Data is processed for the purpose of advertising the Group of companies externally, realizing marketing campaigns or prize draws on specific occasions or relating to specific topics and customer loyalty purposes. Data is processed based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned purposes.
We have only limited control over the processing of data by the operators of the platforms (the information shared by you). You will find further information on the processing of this data in the relevant operator's privacy policy. You can find a list of privacy policies of operators on whose platforms we use channels here.
Recipients/Categories of Recipient:
Data processing agreements within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR have been entered into with all recipients who are bound by instructions. This means that these recipients may only process personal data on the basis of our instructions and, in particular, processing for purposes other than those listed above is excluded.
Storage Time/Criteria for Determining Storage Time:
The content of the social media walls can be accessed on the respective website for as long as the respective wall is operated in the individual case and data processing is therefore necessary for the intended purpose. If you delete a post that is part of the wall from your own profile or this is no longer publicly visible, the respective post is also no longer part of the wall.
The section 1) of this privacy policy applies to the data processing carried out on the website www.jobs.lidl.com.mt by Lidl Malta Limited, Vassallo Business Park, Burmarrad Road, Naxxar NXR 6345, Malta (“Data Controller”). The Data Protection Officer for Lidl Malta Limited can be contacted using the above address or the e-mail address privacymt@lidl.com.mt.Further information and additional contact persons regarding your rights as a Data Subject can be found in section 4.9 of this data protection information.
In the following sections we will inform you about which data we process when you visit the recruiting portal and register / create a candidate profile and / or directly apply for a position.
We process:
The processing of your profile data takes place on the basis of the user contract for the recruiting portal according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Visibility options and inclusion in a talent poolIf on top of your actual application you are also interested in other suitable vacancies at Lidl Group companies, you can increase your chances of becoming part of #teamlidl by selecting that your candidate profile shall be visible either to all Lidl recruiters worldwide or to Lidl recruiters within your country of residence. These profile visibility options are available when you register/apply as well as under “Data Privacy Settings and Search Options” in your candidate profile on our recruiting portal.
You can choose from the following options for which your profile should be considered:
Based on your consent, Lidl recruiters worldwide (Option 1) or in your country of residence (Option 2) can view the following information from your candidate profile if your name comes up as a result of a portal-wide search:
First name, last name, candidate ID, e-mail address, telephone number, address, country of residence, selected profile visibility, candidate profile extension (fields that are additionally queried via a data capture form such as degree or earliest availability), assigned tags (keywords such as skills / special knowledge which recruiters can assign to a candidate and use in searches), comments from recruiters on the candidate profile, "application" documents on the profile, affiliation to talent pools (for private talent pools only the talent pools to which the respective recruiter has access will be listed), correspondences and e-mail campaigns sent from the recruiting portal, applications to Lidl
Based on your candidate profile information recruiters might contact you by e-mail and invite you to apply for a position matching your profile. You decide whether you want to apply.
Our recruiters not only look for suitable candidates for currently open positions via the candidate search, but also use talent pools to keep special target groups on the radar and to stay connected to them. For example, they form regional talent pools from second-best candidates for positions that are filled more frequently or for specialist functions.
If you register for a talent pool, the data that you provide to us via your candidate profile will be processed based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
If you select the visibility option worldwide (1) or country of residence (2) and the possible inclusion in a talent pool, your data will also be processed based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Details of the profile visibility options
If you select the Option 1 “In addition, for other current and future suitable positions within the international Lidl Group and the potential inclusion in worldwide talent pool(s).”, you consent to your profile being visible to all recruiters of all Lidl national organizations and Regional Distribution Centers as well as Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG. Please refer https://careers.lidl/overview-companies for a list of all Lidl companies whose recruiters have access to your profile.
The selection of “worldwide consideration/visibility” of your candidate profile always entails that you can be added to any of our worldwide talent pools. Worldwide talent pool means that the recruiters who have access to the talent pool can reside outside of your country of residence. If recruiters with access to your candidate profile consider you a candidate worth keeping track of, they can add you to one or several of our worldwide talent pools based on your consent.
If you select the Option 2 “In addition, for other current and future suitable positions in my country of residence and the potential inclusion in talent pool(s) for my country of residence”, you consent to your profile being visible to all recruiters of the Lidl national organization and the associated Regional Distribution Centers in your country of residence.
The selection of “country of residence consideration/visibility” of your candidate profile allows recruiters in your country of residence to add you to any talent pool. Recruiters from outside of your country of residence can neither find your candidate profile via portal-wide searches nor add you to a talent pool.
If you go with Option 3 “Exclusively for positions for which I am actively applying.”, only recruiters in charge of positions for which you actively apply have access to your candidate profile. Your profile cannot be found via portal-wide searches and therefore can neither be added to a talent pool nor be considered for other positions matching your profile.
If you opt for the visibility options worldwide (1) or country of residence (2) and the potential inclusion in a talent pool your data is also processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Withdrawal of consent
You can revoke your consent to the worldwide or country of residence visibility/consideration of your profile and for participation in the talent pools at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please change your visibility settings directly in your profile in “Data Privacy Settings and Search Options”. The legality of the processing that has already taken place up until the receipt of your withdrawal is not affected by this.
Please note that the change in visibility settings has the following effects:
Note: If data is transmitted to a Lidl company that is headquartered in non-EU/ non-EEA countries ("third countries"), the data protection level in this third country may be lower compared to that in the EU/ EEA, which may mean that the rights of data subjects may not be enforced at all or not in the same way. If we transfer personal data to data recipients outside the EU/ EEA, the transfer will only take place if an adequate level of data protection in the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission, an appropriate level of data protection has been agreed with the data recipient (e.g. by means of EU standard contractual clauses) or you have given us your express consent.
When visiting a career fair or after being approached and interviewed by an active sourcer, you have in some countries the opportunity to register in the recruiting portal via a data capture form without having to apply for a specific position, but with the aim to be included in a talent pool and considered for future vacancies that suit your qualifications.
Your data is automatically used to create a candidate profile in the background. In this context, we would like to give you the opportunity to be taken into account for suitable positions in all Lidl companies worldwide. This is why your candidate profile is automatically visible/considered worldwide (Option 1) by default when you register for a talent pool via data capture form. You can change this setting in your profile to limit visibility/consideration to your own country and will receive further information in an email following your registration. Further information on the visibility options (especially option 1) can be found in section 2.2.
Withdrawal of consent
You can revoke your consent to participate in the talent pools via data capture forms at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please change your visibility settings directly in your profile in “Data Privacy Settings and Search Options”. The legality of the processing that has already taken place up until the receipt of your withdrawal is not affected by this. For more information on the different visibility options and their effects, see 2.2.
In case you have given us your explicit consent for campaign e-mails on your candidate profile, you can be included in mailings in which information on job opportunities, news from Lidl or invitations to events are shared. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Withdrawal of consent
If you no longer want to receive these mailings, you can withdraw your consent to them in your candidate profile by unchecking the box in “Data Privacy Settings and Search Options”. The legality of the processing that has already taken place up until the receipt of your withdrawal is not affected by this. Please note that the consent to e-mail campaigns has no impact on the consideration of your profile for other job opportunities/the potential inclusion in a talent pool.
In our recruiting portal, technically necessary cookies and other technically necessary technologies are used to process usage data (for example, to display our website correctly/ functions you require, to save your login in the login area).
We use the following cookies: careerSiteCompanyID,JSESSIONID, route.
The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, i.e. we process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to present the website with its statements in a fully functional manner.
Log files are stored for the following purposes:
The legal basis for processing the log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the purposes of data processing listed above.
The transfer of your data to external service providers who support our application process in individual cases will only take place after careful selection and contractual obligation. External IT and consulting service providers as well as companies of the Schwarz Group support us in the provision of the system and may receive access to your data in individual cases as part of the service provision. These are the following service providers:
You can delete your candidate profile and the saved attachments at any time in the profile settings. Deletion is carried out by anonymizing your data, meaning that a connection to your person is no longer possible. You are the owner of your data.
In the event of inactivity, your account will be deleted 12 months after the last login. If you forgo creating an account with a personal password upon applying, the date of your application will be set as the date of the last login. 7 days prior to deletion, you will receive a notification that the deletion of your data is imminent. This approach with corresponding deadlines also applies if you are a member of a talent pool.
If you initiate the deletion yourself, the deletion will take place within 24 hours, provided that this does not conflict with retention requirements or our legitimate interests.
The respective retention obligations vary among the different Lidl national companies and are listed under Section 3.6. They commence at the end of the application procedure, i.e., after the receipt of a rejection or the withdrawal of an application.
The candidate profile in the recruiting portal of the Lidl Group should, however, only be deleted if you have no other ongoing application procedures in other Lidl companies. This is because the deletion of the candidate profile leads to the termination of all application procedures within the Lidl corporate group, as your application documents will also be deleted. Should you wish this, we ask you to explicitly inform us.
The deletion of applications depends on the status of the application at the time the candidate profile is deleted/anonymized. Applications that are not yet complete will be deleted overnight. Applications that are already in the status "rejected," "withdrawn," or "hired" are subject to the country-specific retention periods listed under Section 3.6. and will only be deleted once this period has expired.
If the terms of use are changed, please note that you will be prompted to accept the changed license agreement the next time you log in. If this consent is not given, you will be unable to access your profile and the previous terms of use remain valid. If you reject, your data will be deleted within 24 hours and no longer processed, unless this is contrary to retention requirements or legitimate interests on our end. Existing applications will be treated as withdrawn and will also be deleted according to these deadlines.
The retention period for cookies can be found in our cookie policy. If the information “persistent” is indicated in the “Expiration” column, the cookie is stored permanently until the corresponding consent is revoked. The retention period of the session storage is limited to the respective session and ends when the browser is closed.
Log files are stored for a period of seven days and then automatically deleted.
There is no legal or contractual obligation on your part to provide us with personal data. However, without the data, we cannot offer you the benefits of our recruiting portal and cannot include you in a talent pool.
In the following section, we will explain which data we process from you when you apply for a specific position.
In order to apply for a position in the Lidl Group, you must register in the Recruiting Portal (section 2). When you register, you create a candidate profile respectively the profile is created in the background to you applying.
After creating your profile, you can upload your application documents and view and change your data, apply for other positions, withdraw individual applications or delete your entire profile, including all current applications. You can delete your profile at any time in the profile settings. Information in your candidate profile including personal data, resume, cover letter and other documents will always be updated based on what you provided for your latest application. This allows you to reuse the personal data, resume, cover letter and other documents from your most recent application and adjust them if needed for your next application.
Please note that we may need additional personal data from you later in the application process in order to complete your application. We will inform you about this in a separate e-mail.
Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, as the operator of the recruiting portal, processes the data,
on behalf of the Lidl companies advertising the job (e.g. Lidl Dienstleistung GmbH & Co. KG), to which you apply, and forwards your data to them if you send your application by clicking on the corresponding button.
The Lidl companies that advertise a position process your data in an application for the purpose of carrying out the application process and for the decision to establish an employment relationship on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b, where applicable in conjunction with Article 88 GDPR and the country-specific standards for applicant data protection.
The transfer of your application data to external service providers who support our application process in individual cases will only take place after careful selection and contractual obligation.
External IT and consulting service providers as well as companies of the Schwarz Group support us in the provision of the system and may receive access to your data in individual cases as part of the service provision. These are the following service providers:
With the help of statistical data (no names and no submitted application documents) from the application processes (e.g. processing times of applications, etc.), the Lidl company advertising the job draws conclusions on the effectiveness of the application process independently of you as data subject and improves the application process on the basis of these findings. With the final feedback on your application, you will receive a link to a voluntary and anonymous candidate survey so that you can share your experience on the recruitment process with us. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in optimizing and simplifying the application process.
In order to conclude employment contracts, we use the simple electronic signature (Adobe Sign) with the help of the service provider Adobe Software Ireland Limited on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest consists in an efficient, fast and cost-saving processing of the contract signing.
If your application is recommended within the framework of the "Employees refer employees" program, we process your first and last name, the first and last name of the referring employee and, if applicable, the future personnel number, the position and your start date in order to process the referral bonus for the referring employee. In accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, the basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in fulfilling the contract with the referring employee within the framework of the "Employees refer employees" programFor this purpose, the company that may be hiring you will send information about your status to the company where the referring employee is employed.
Transfer to recipients outside the EU / EEA
If we transfer your personal data to recipients outside the EU/ EEA, the transfer will only take place if an adequate level of data protection in the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission, an appropriate level of data protection has been agreed with the data recipient (e.g. by means of EU standard contractual clauses) or you have given us your consent.
If you are interested in a job posted on the career site, we recommend that you use EasyApply to initially create your profile and to apply in one go. After submitting your application, you will receive an email with further information on how to access your candidate profile in the future.
If you are interested in other positions and an application “with login” is offered on our career website, we recommend using it as you will be able to depart from your existing profile information and adjust it if needed for your application. If only EasyApply is offered, seize the opportunity to provide all required/relevant information and documents for that specific position.
Please note that, depending on your visibility settings, recruiters may be aware of your multiple active applications through your candidate profile (see3.5).
Regardless of how you created your profile you can also change, add or delete information in your user profile at any time, view the status of your application(s), submit additional documents or change your data at a later date.
If an agency submitted your “short application” (first and last name, e-mail address, country/region code, phone number, country/region and CV) for an open position with us, you will be notified about this via e-mail. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR, where applicable in conjunction with Article 88 GDPR and the country-specific standards for applicant data protection. If the recruiter in charge of the position wants to proceed with your application, you will be invited to apply and provide additional job-specific information. In case you do not apply within 30 days after the agency has submitted your “short application”, your “short application” will get deleted.
If you apply for multiple jobs with Lidl companies the recruiters in charge will have access to the following information from your other applications within the limits set by your selected visibility option: date of the application, position title, status of the application, recruiter’s first and last name.The setting that you chose for one application will apply to all applications.
If you select “consideration exclusively for positions for which I am actively applying.” (Option 3) recruiters in charge of other positions, you have applied for will be informed about the fact that your application to their role is not your only application with Lidl, but they will not see any details regarding your other applications.
If you select "consideration for other current and future suitable positions in my country of residence" (Option 2) and you have applied to several jobs within your country of residence, then the information as listed above on these other applications will be available to the recruiters in charge of filling the other positions. They will also have access to the aforementioned information on applications you submitted to Lidl companies outside of your country of residence. However, recruiters in charge of filling positions outside of your country of residence to which you have applied will only see that the application to their role is not your only application with Lidl – they will not see any details regarding other applications.
If you select "consideration for other current and future suitable positions within the international Lidl Group" (Option 1) all recruiters in charge of positions you have applied for will have access to the information as listed above from any of your other applications with any Lidl company.
The legal basis is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in adapting the (pre-)selection process and saving you from having to answer the same questions multiple times.
You can withdraw your application to us at any time. You decide how your data is used.
In the event of rejection or recruitment, the data processed as part of the application process will be deleted after the end of the application process in accordance with the country-specific deadline of the Lidl company to which you have applied. The anonymization is legally equivalent to the deletion.
The period commences after the completion of the application procedure in each case, i.e., after the receipt of a rejection or the withdrawal of an application.
