This app uses Google Analytics, an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (Google), to analyse user behaviour. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator to evaluate your use of the app, compile reports on activity within the app and to provide other services related to the use to the operator. Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. You may opt-out of using Google Analytics in this app in the future at any time. To do this, open the menu, click on the "More" tab and scroll to the bottom of the privacy policy where there is a button to deactivate the tracking.
The My Lidl Shop App uses the analysis tool adjust, a product of adjust GmbH. When you install the Lidl app, adjust will save installation and event data from your My Lidl Shop App (for example, use of the app or interactions in the customer account). This will help us to understand how you interact with our app. It also allows us to analyse and improve our mobile advertising campaigns. For this analysis, adjust uses the IDFA (Identifier for Advertising) or the Android Advertising ID, the IP / MAC address, the HTTP header and a fingerprint of your device (as well as: time of access, country, language, local settings, operating system and version, and the app version). This data is anonymised, as such, neither we nor adjust will be able to identify you using this data. The IDFA and the Android Advertising ID can be reset or deactivated at any time via your operating system. If you do not want tracking by adjust, you can opt out of it for future use at any time by pressing the button below.
b) Recipients / Categories of Recipients
Google Analytics usually transmits the information generated about your use of the app to a Google server in the United States where it is stored. IP anonymisation has been activated in this app so that the IP address of Google users within member states of the European Union or in other states contracted to the European Economic Area is shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
The adjust GmbH servers, on the other hand, are located exclusively in the European Union.
In addition to these two service providers, nobody has access to your personal data processed during the usage analysis.
c) Storage duration / Criteria for determining the storage duration
The personal data processed as part of the use of the analysis tools will be anonymised immediately after collection.
5. Your rights and contact with the Data Protection officer
Upon request you have the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you in accordance with Article 15, paragraph 1 of GDPR free of charge. In addition, if the legal prerequisites exist, you are entitled to a correction (Article 16 of GDPR), cancellation (Article 17 of GDPR) and limitation of processing (Article 18 of GDPR) of your personal data.
If the data processing is based on Article 6, paragraph 1 e) or f) of GDPR, you have a right of objection under Article 21 of GDPR. If you object to data processing, it will not be used in the future, unless the person responsible can prove that there are compelling grounds for further processing that are worthy of protection outweighing the interest of the person concerned in the objection.
If you have provided the processed data yourself, you are entitled to transfer data according to Article 20 of GDPR.
If the data processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1a) or Article 9, paragraph 2a) of GDPR, you can revoke the consent at any time with future effect, without affecting the legality of the previous processing.
