I. SITE (ADIDAS DOMAIN) OPERATION AND APP OPERATION

To run the sites that are connected to the adidas domain and the adidas app, fix bugs to make sure you always see the site the way we intended, and monitor compliance with our Terms and Conditions, we screen all traffic to our site and analyse data that is received by our servers.

Use of Cookies/Tags/Pixels: We may collect your personal details for this purpose by using technologies such as cookies, pixels and tags to collect your device information. More information is available in “XVIII. COLLECTING YOUR DEVICE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE USING COOKIES, PIXELS, TAGS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES”.

II. DOMAIN AND NETWORK SECURITY AND USER AUTHENTICATION

To protect our domains, detect unusual activities, and prevent security threats and protect our site-visitors from unauthorised accesses (such as hackers), we screen all traffic to our sites, and authenticate user log-in information using tokens to verify the details you provide to us and compare it with other available information, such us the credentials you have provided directly to adidas or other platforms (such as Runtastic or Facebook) or information that is available in the public domain to ensure only “authorised” users have access to our sites.

III. GLOBAL CREDENTIAL TO ALL ADIDAS PLATFORMS – USER EXPERIENCE

We know you don’t like to remember usernames and passwords, or having to register multiple times.

To enable our users to log on to all platforms, portals, services, communities and apps operated by or on behalf of adidas Data Controllers (which includes the Runtastic app and services) (adidas Platforms) with one set of log-in credentials (adidas Log-In), we store your adidas Log-In in our global authentication platform. When you use your adidas Log-In to enter any adidas Platform, we will use a token to verify your identity from our global authentication platform. This also further ensures our network and domain security.

IV. SALES OF ADIDAS PRODUCTS - ONLINE AND OFF-LINE ORDER

To operate adidas online shop and adidas platforms, to process your online and/or in-app orders, make sure your payment is received, comply with the requirements under our Terms and Conditions (3. Purchase Terms) (for selling you the products) including invoice processing, delivery, personalisation services, exchanges and refunds, click and collect. Your order cannot be completed if our payment fraud detection solutions flag your transaction as suspicious and potentially fraudulent. Please note the payment fraud detection system is an automated decision-making process. It is required to allow us to conclude the contract with you. You have the right to request a human review of this decision, and challenge the decision.

V. PAYMENT FRAUD DETECTION

We combine the purchase information you provide to us with other information we obtain through our third-party payment risk and fraud prevention service providers to ensure any purchases are legitimate, or you do not purchase our products in violation with our terms and conditions. This means depending on the outcome of the analysis of your information, we may reject your order, and decline your payment. This is an automated decision-making process that is required to conclude our sales contract with you.

VI. PRODUCT DELIVERY

Once you have successfully placed an order, we use your contact details (home and/or shipping address) and other purchase information to deliver the products you purchased to you.

VII. ELECTRONIC DELIVERY TRACKING

This is a service provided on request of the consumer by our Delivery Partners.

The service is hosted on the Delivery Partner’s platform. You should read their Privacy Policy for the processing of your Personal Information for this purpose.

VIII. BUSINESS OPERATIONAL ANALYTICS

We need to know how we do as a business. This is in the interest of our shareholders, our board members, our employees, and our partners. For this purpose, we need to analyse different categories of information to understand how our products are selling in different markets, what are the popular features of our products, what worked and what didn’t in terms of our marketing and advertising campaigns, our product designs and distribution strategy, our website design and overall user experience, so we can establish, implement, and evaluate our business strategy.

This includes analysing data to understand how users browse our site and use the app to improve our user experience design to make sure you will continue to purchase our products and interact with us on our sites and applications.

To minimise the risk to you as an individual, we will only use either the unique consumer identifier or the IP address for this purpose.

We use third-party solutions such as Google Audience and Facebook Custom Audience to help us do a better job at targeting our campaigns and messages for our consumers. Your Personal Information is shared with the third-party advertising platforms, and they will attempt to match your profile in their database to determine the optimal time and place (the page you are browsing) to show you an advertisement from adidas, and to verify if you bought a product from adidas as a result of your engagement with a particular advertisement. We also need to analyse necessary information to understand the impact of our advertising campaigns. If you don’t accept that we track you for this purpose, you will still see adidas advertisements on other platforms at random. We only provide your Personal Information (whether in original or anonymised form) to these third-party advertising platforms if we have your consent as indicated by your tracking preferences. You can always change your preferences through the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of our webpage.
