This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) provides necessary information required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) on how adidas (“adidas”, “we”, “us”) collects and uses information about you that is provided by you directly and indirectly or others. When the information allows us to identify you as an individual independent from others, it’s called “personal data” under the GDPR. 

 

Additionally, you should also read any privacy notices displayed when you provide personal data to us as they provide details of the specific scenario which may not be covered by this Notice.

 

If you access any of our platforms by using a Virtual Private Network (also known as “VPN”) to interact with us – including making purchases - in a country that is not your current or residential country where GDPR is the governing privacy law, please read the privacy notice displayed at that specific platform or portal to understand how the responsible entities, our affiliated brands and adidas subsidiaries at that country use and protect your Personal Data as local national requirements may be different from the GDPR.

 

We will routinely review the content of this Notice and make minor adjustments and corrections as necessary. As required by law, when we make any significant changes that would have an impact on your rights and your Personal Data, we will announce these changes in advance, and make sure you are informed of these changes, which may require us to send you an email announcement.

§  3rd-Party Advertising

the technology is used to share your data collected with third-party (non-adidas) advertising platforms and publishers.  For example: sharing information with our partners like facebook so that we can use the data for our ads on facebook – not so facebook can use it for other advertisers or data sellers, etc.

 

§  Behaviour Tracking

The technology is used to collect your device data, and related web browsing behaviour (e.g. clickstream).

 

§  Marketing Performance Analytics

The technology is used for tracking a consumer’s behaviour on the site or app for the purposes of improving the performance of our marketing activities.

 

§  Marketing Precision Analytics

The technology is used to analyse consumer behaviour and preference for more accurate targeted, personalised ads and digital messages, and other marketing ROIs. For example, Ad response rates — where the data is used exclusively for calculating response rates (click-through rates) to improve the effectiveness of advertising purchased on a site external to the destination website.

 

§  RTB - Real Time Bidding

The technology enables real time bidding (“RTB”).

 

§  Cross Device Tracking

We use Google Analytics to collect consumer device data, and related web browsing behaviour across devices (e.g. mobile phone / tablet / computer) wherever you can be identified with the same identifier (device ID or Consumer Identifier), for instance by tracking consumers who browse products on our site from a phone, and later return to complete purchases from a tablet or laptop. We do so to improve the effectiveness of our different marketing channels.

If you select to be logged in persistently, you do not have to log in every time you visit the adidas website for up to 30 days.

Please note that no consent status will be stored.

This basic profile information will be stored for up to 30 days in the browser that was used for the login within an access token. The access token is a HTTP only cookie. The token is valid for 20 minutes if the ‘keep me logged in’ functionality was selected. After the expiration of the token it is no longer possible to access personal information so the logged in session is over. For persistent login we additionally store a refresh token in the browser which can be used to refresh the access token within a 30 days period and extend the logged in session that way. If this refresh token is missing (if you have not selected persistent login or cookies were cleared) the access token cannot be refreshed. Hence, your session cannot be extended, and you will not be logged in anymore.

Please note: If you chose persistent log-in, your personal address details may be exposed to an unauthorised third party if you forget to log-out from persistent log-in from a publicly accessible device.

                                                 5.2.k.      Infinite Play Programme Resell Participation

PROCESSING

adidas has partnered with our Selling Partner - Stuffstr Limited (“Stuffstr”) - to provide consumers the opportunity to sell back eligible adidas products in return for adidas gift cards through the adidas Infinite Play resell Programme (“the Programme”).

 

For the Programme, we will need to use the following information:

 

Contact Information – so Stuffstr knows where to pick up your items, send you bags to pack your items, and to issue gift cards to the right person, and you will receive adidas Gift Cards via email or in-app messages;

 

Payment, Purchase and Transaction Information – as gift cards are issued based on the length of the item purchased, we need to verify when you actually bought the items; and

Membership Administration Information – you get points when you resell your items according to adiClub Terms and Conditions.

 

Stuffstr will conclude the contract with you directly, so they can collect the items from you, sell the products for recycling, and provide you with gift cards in return. If you need more bags for the items you wish to resell, you will be redirected to the Stuffstr website to provide additional information.

 

Profiling: Stuffstr staff will be manually assessing the status of the items you resell and create a profile for the items you have resold through the Programme. Stuffstr uses this information to determine their future assessment for your items. If you have consistently returned items that are more worn out than expected (the original return price), Stuffstr may provide a different value based on your profile.

 

Labels Scanning: you have the option to use your device camera to scan the labels of the adidas products you want to sell back to us. We will use the labels pictures to recognize information about the product (size, materials, model, production date) and to identify whether the product is genuine or not.

 

To analyse the labels we use the Google Machine Learning Kit (https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/vision/barcode-scanning). Your label pictures will not be shared with Google.

We will ask for your permission before you use your camera to try this feature.

This includes information that relates to purposes based on the Performance of Contract (such as your purchase).

                                                  5.3.f.      Push Notification on Mobile Devices Based on Your Current Location

PROCESSING

We need to access your real time location information via your mobile devices in order to send you push notifications about an event or an adidas store closest to you.

 

When you enable location sharing for the adidas app, including when you’re not using the app, or when the app is closed, you allow the adidas app to continue to access your mobile device’s location data in the background.

 

adidas sets up a “geofence” around a specific location of interest, such as a store or an event. This geofence is registered with the location service available on your mobile device, such as Google or Apple. We do not receive information about your actual location in real time. We only receive information from the location services about your mobile device entering and leaving our geofences.

 

Android Device and Google location service: We checks every 15 minutes to see whether a device is close to one of our geofences. We store a cache on your device to capture the location from which the request was made so that we can invalidate the cache stored on your device when you move away.

Apple Device and location service: adidas is notified every time a user moves more than about 500m so we can re-register the regions in order of proximity to users (to get around the limit of 20 regions). We store your last known location temporarily. The information is discarded when the app is closed.
