It is in ALDI’s legitimate interest to conclude and perform contracts with the Supplier, for which it is inevitable to process the Contact Data.

Communication and cooperation between ALDI and the given Media; establishment, exercise and defence of legal claims in relation to potential or existing cooperation and media publications, and the related business communication.

Legal basis of processing:

ALDI performs Communication with its Business Partners and the Media on the basis of its legitimate interest specified in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

ALDI’s legitimate interest:

In case of Business Partners – to establish and maintain long-term and stable relationships with the Business Partners, mainly for continuously ensuring ALDI’s daily operation and for developing ALDI’s customer servicing. Excellent business relations and partnerships based on mutual advantages allow ALDI to operate efficiently, to remain competitive and to improve customer satisfaction.

In case of the Media – communication with the Media is of strategic importance for ALDI to manage corporate issues efficiently, to build and defend its reputation, and to establish relationships with its customers.

This includes primarily the following activities:

  • communication with the Media allows ALDI to strengthen its business reputation, to clarify the facts related to any potential negative media coverages, and to provide replies.
  • besides this, communication with the Media also allows ALDI to promote its products and campaigns, and to inform its customers in advertisements on the available products and special offers.
  • via Media, ALDI can establish closer relations with the customers: Media (e.g. social media and online forums) allow ALDI to collect feedback and handle customer questions, to inform and educate customers (e.g. on healthy diet, ingredients of products and culinary habits).
  • finally, communication with the Media allows ALDI to collect information on the changes of the legal regulations affecting its operation and the effects of such changes.

Contact Data are provided by stipulating that the Business Partner or the given Media as the party providing the data has the appropriate legal basis to process the contact person’s personal data (typically the contact person is an employee or executive officer of the Business Partner or the given Media, and his/her work telephone number and email address are provided).

Duration of processing:

General data retention period: ALDI stores the Contact Data for 5 years calculated from the date when the underlying contractual relationship terminates or (if such date is different) from the date of the last communication with the contact person (inactivity). (Pursuant to Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code – “Civil Code” – claims lapse in 5 years). A contact person may become “inactive” if he is placed to another department of the Business Partner and ALDI gets another contact person, or if the employment relationship of the given contact person terminates at the given Media and is replaced by a new contact person. It is the legitimate interest of ALDI, the given Business Partner and the Media to know who was the predecessor of the contact person during the limitation period, what was the former correspondence and who can be referred to, who can be contacted for certain issues, if the background knowledge is required for former issues.

If the Contact Data are contained in a document to be used for taxpayer obligations: the compulsory data retention period required by law is 5 years calculated from the last day of the calendar year in which the tax return, data reporting or reporting should have been performed, or in the absence of tax return, data reporting or reporting, the tax should have been paid (Sections 78 (3) and 202 (1) of Act CL of 2017 on the rules of taxation).

If the Contact Data are contained in an accounting document: the compulsory data retention period required by law is 8 years (pursuant to Sections 168-169 of Act C of 2000 on accounting). In the practice, this is the case if the Contact Data are part of the documents supporting ALDI’s accounting, for example if the data are contained in documents related to contracts concluded between ALDI and the Business Partners (e.g. order) or on invoices.

If the Contact Data are necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims: the duration of processing is the period necessary for the preparation and the conducting of the procedure(s), and the period necessary for the final closing of the procedure or the exercising of the legitimate interest in other manner (e.g. out-of-court settlement). The created official documents are kept by ALDI in accordance with the rules governing the retention of the given document.

Data processor:

For processing, ALDI does not employ so-called “data processors” (who would process the data on behalf of and on the basis of the instructions of ALDI).

Recipients of personal data:

The personal data are not transferred to other third parties.

Information on data security:

Only authorised persons have access to the Contact Data provided. The data can only be uploaded, edited or copied with proper authorisations granted only to ALDI employees involved in Communication with the Business Partner and the Media, who will delete such data without delay following the expiry of the retention period. The Contact Data will be stored on ALDI’s own server in a folder to which only the employees with proper authorisations will have access.
