What does adidas do when we transfer your Personal Data outside of the EU/EEA?

Depending on the Personal Data processing activity, your Personal Data is shared with different “Categories of Recipients”. Where the recipient is located outside the EU/EEA, we have implemented necessary measures such as singing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the EU Commission or selecting vendors that certify and comply with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework.

How do we secure your Personal Data?

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to address the risks corresponding to our use of your Personal Data, including loss, alteration, or unauthorised access to your Personal Data, and empowering you to exercise your rights. We require our service providers to do the same through contractual agreements. However, you should be aware that any transmission of your Personal Data through the internet is at your own risk. We can only protect your Personal Data when we have it.

What are your rights and how can you exercise them?

Under the GDPR and applicable data protection laws in the EU/EEA countries, you have the rights listed and explained below. We need to confirm your identity before we can handle your requests. When we refuse your request for legal reasons, we will tell you why.

For all enquiries concerning your privacy and personal data, please contact us under the “ASK CUSTOMER SERVICE” section via HELP.

Please consult your local supervisory authority about your rights under the GDPR and to understand what these rights mean.

YOUR RIGHTS

Get a copy of your Personal Data

You have the right to obtain a copy of your Personal Data, if it does not have negative effect on other people.

Access to information about your Personal Data

You have the right to know whether or not we use your Personal Data, as well as the following information: a) why we have your Personal Data; b) what categories of data we have; c) what we do with your Personal Data; d) who has access to your Personal Data (and where they are); e) where your Personal Data might be transferred to; f) how long we are keeping your Personal Data; g) if you didn’t provide your Personal Data directly to us, how did we get them; h) your rights under applicable laws and the possibility to restrict processing; and i) if we use your Personal Data for any automated decision-making; and j) in some cases, you have the right to know how our automated decision-making works, if the decision significantly affects you.

Make sure your Personal Data are correct

You have the right to make sure we are using the accurate details about you.

Delete your Personal Data

You have the right to ask us to delete your Personal Data if: a) we no longer need it for a specific purpose, for example, a contract or a legal requirement; or b) you withdraw the consent you provided if we asked for your consent when we collected your Personal Data; or c) if you object to our use of your Personal Data based on legitimate interests we have identified, including direct marketing activities, unless we can demonstrate the compelling need of the legitimate interests.

Restrict how we use your Personal Data

You have the right to stop us from doing certain things to your Personal Data when: a) you don’t think we are using the right Personal Data; b) you don't want us to delete your Personal Data, but you also don't think we are complying with the law; c) you want to make a legal complaint against us, but we want to delete the data; or d) you challenge our explanation of our use based on a "legitimate interest". When you successfully restrict how we use your Personal Data, we will only use your Personal Data with your consent, or unless it is required by law.

Obtain a portable file so you can share it with another company

You have the right to obtain a portable file that contains the Personal Data you provided to us where the legal basis is either consent or the performance of contract. The file will provide you with the Personal Data you actively and knowingly provided to us, including data passively obtained by us when you use our service or products.

Withdraw your consent

When we use your Personal Data based on your consent, you have the right to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time.

Object when we process your Personal Data based on “Legitimate Interest”

When we process your Personal Data based on “Legitimate Interest” as specified in this Privacy Notice, you may have the right to disagree and stop us from processing your Personal Data for this purpose. We may have compelling reasons, though, to continue processing your Personal Data even in the light of your objection. In such cases we will provide you with our rationale. We will respect and implement your objection in any case where it is related to direct marketing purposes.

Challenge the decision generated by our automated decision-making process

When we use automated decision-making tools or processes that lead to an outcome which produces a legal effect (such as Payment Fraud Detection), you have the right to understand the logic involved, the significance and possible consequences of this process. You also have the right to request human intervention, especially when this is used to conclude a contract with us. You can challenge our decision by expressing your opinion.

File a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority

If you are not happy with how we have handled your Personal Data, or how we have responded to your rights provided here, you have the right to make a complaint against us with your local data protection supervisory authority.
