8. PROTECTION and MANAGEMENT of Your Personal Data

8.1. Encryption & Security 

We use a variety of technical and organizational security measures, including encryption and authentication tools, to maintain the safety of your personal data. Despite our efforts, no website, mobile application, database or system is completely secure or “hacker proof”. You can help keep your data safe by taking reasonable steps to protect your personal data against unauthorized disclosure or misuse.

8.2. International Transfers of your Personal Data

The personal data we collect (or process) in the context of our Platform will be stored in the USA and other countries. Some of the data recipients with whom Nike shares your personal data may be located in countries other than the country in which your personal data originally was collected. The laws in those countries may not provide the same level of data protection compared to the country in which you initially provided your data. Nevertheless, when we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries, including the USA, we will protect that personal data as described in this Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable law.

We take measures to comply with applicable legal requirements for the transfer of personal data to recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK) or Switzerland that do not provide an adequate level of data protection. We use a variety of measures to ensure that your personal data transferred to these countries receives adequate protection in accordance with data protection rules; this includes signing the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or verifying that the recipient has adopted Binding Corporate Rules. Where personal data is transferred within Nike, we use an intragroup data transfer agreement with the appropriate data transfer mechanisms in place.

8.3. Retention of your Personal Data 

Your personal information will be retained for as long as is necessary to carry out the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law). In general, this means that we will keep your personal data for as long as you keep your Nike account. Click here to learn more.

(i)          access to your personal data, including the specific pieces of personal data that we have collected about you;

(ii)         an electronic copy of your personal data (portability) and to have this information transmitted to another company;

(iii)       correction of your personal data if it is incomplete or inaccurate; or

(iv)       deletion or restriction of your personal data in certain circumstances provided by applicable law.

Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data (such as Account Linking), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that if you withdraw consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of our use of your personal data on the basis of your consent up to that point.

In some cases, you may also object to our collection or use of your personal data. For example, when we process your data based on our legitimate interest. We will abide by your request unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights or if we need to continue to process the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of a legal claim.

Please note that these rights are not absolute. If you would like to request a copy of your personal data or exercise any of your other rights, please use our Nike Privacy Webform.

9.2. Opting Out of Direct Marketing

Third parties may also collect information via our Platform through cookies, third party plug-ins and widgets. These third parties collect data directly from your web browser and the processing of this data is subject to their own privacy policies. More information on the identity of these third parties and their privacy policies is provided here.

We use cookies and pixel tags to track our customers’ usage of the Platform and to understand our customers’ preferences (such as country and language choices). This enables us to provide services to our customers and improve their online experience. We also use cookies and pixel tags to obtain aggregate data about Platform traffic and interaction, to identify trends and obtain statistics so that we can improve our Platform. There are generally four categories of cookies used on our Platform:

• Strictly Necessary (Always on): Enables core functionality to power your language, location and shopping bag. Also supports security, network management and accessibility.
• Personalized Experiences: Allows use of behavioral data, using cookies and other technologies, to improve your experience and provide relevant content on Nike platforms and in communications.
• Performance & Analytics: Allows use of behavioral data to optimize performance, review how you interact with our sites and apps, and improve Nike experiences.
• Personalized Advertising: Allows sharing of behavioral data with advertising partners. This data is used to enhance and report on the personalized advertising experience on partner sites.

We interact with third-party analytics services on our Platform. These third parties share reports with us about the use of our Platform, including to help us better understand our Platform users’ interests and demographics. These reports do not contain information that directly identifies you. However, they can be used by these third parties for our remarketing campaigns to you if you have turned on certain ads personalization services. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent to conduct this activity.

You can always change your preference by visiting the "Cookie Settings" at the bottom of each page of our websites.

You may also see our ads on other websites, such as our partner’s websites, because we use third-party ad services. Through these ad services, we can show you ads that may be tailored to your individual interests. These ad services may also track your online activities over time and across multiple websites and apps by collecting information through automated means. This data collection takes place both on our Platform and on third-party websites and apps that participate in these ad services.

Cookie settings

For a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of every third-party accessing your web browser (through Nike Platform or otherwise), we recommend installing a web browser plugin built for this purpose. You can also choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser settings on each browser and device that you use. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to many features that make our Platform more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.

There are also general resources for opting out of interest-based advertising available on the website of the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Similarly, you can adjust your advertising preferences on your mobile device at the device level. For example, to adjust your advertising preferences in iOS, visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking. To adjust your advertising preferences in Android, visit Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of interest-based ads.

11. USING Nike Platform with Third-Party Products and Services

Our Platform allows you to interact with a wide variety of other digital products and services. For example, our Platform can integrate with third-party devices for activity tracking, social networks, music streaming services and other digital services.

If you choose to connect your Nike account with a third-party device or account, your privacy rights on third-party platforms will be governed by their respective policies. For example, if you choose to share your Nike activity on third-party social media platforms, if you browse our NRC and NTC mobile applications while being authenticated on third-party platforms and you turned on certain ads personalization services, or if you ask us to link your Nike account with your membership accounts with Nike’s Partners, the policies of those third-party platforms and Partners govern the data that resides there. 

Our Platform may provide links to other (third-party) websites and apps for your convenience or information. Linked sites and apps have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly encourage you to review. To the extent any linked websites or apps are not owned or controlled by us, we are not responsible for their content, any use you make of such websites or apps, or their privacy practices.

12. CHANGES to Our Privacy Policy

Applicable law and our practices change over time. If we decide to update our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on our Platform. If we materially change the way in which we process your personal data, we will provide you with prior notice, or where legally required, request your consent prior to implementing such changes. We strongly encourage you to read our Privacy Policy and keep yourself informed of our practices. This Privacy Policy was last modified in December 2023.
