To Operate, Improve and Maintain our Business, Products and Services

We use the personal data you provide to us to operate our business.  For example, when you receive a Product, we may use that information for accounting, audits and other internal functions.  We may use personal data about how you use our Products and Services to enhance your user experience and to help us diagnose technical and service problems and administer our Platform.

To Protect Our or Others’ Rights, Property or Safety

We may also use personal data about how you use our Platform to prevent, detect or investigate fraud, abuse, illegal use, or violations of our .SWOOSH Terms of Service, and to comply with court orders, governmental requests or applicable law.

For General Research, Analysis and Platform Improvement Purposes

We use data about how our visitors use our Platform, Products and Services to improve and enhance our Platform, Products and Services. 

Other Purposes

We may also use your personal data in other ways and will provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent where necessary.

Legal Grounds

To process your personal data, we rely on certain legal grounds, depending on how you interact with our Platform.

  • When you receive Products from our Platform, we need your personal data to fulfill our contract with you.
  • We process your personal data when we have your consent to do so.  When consent is the legal basis for our processing, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
  • We also rely on other legal grounds, such as our legitimate interests as a business to process information about the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, Products, Services and other promotional initiatives; to operate, improve and maintain our business, Products and Services; to protect our or others' rights, property or safety; to communicate with you; and for general research and analysis purposes. When processing personal data for our legitimate interests, we take appropriate measures to ensure that the interests we pursue are balanced with your interests, rights and freedoms, which we are happy to explain upon request.
  • We process your personal data to comply with a legal obligation, or to protect your vital interests. For example,  we may process your personal data to verify your identity or compare it with sanctions lists.

6. SHARING of Your Personal Data

            Nike’s Sharing

Nike shares your personal data, including the categories identified above, with and may disclose it for a business purpose to:

  • Group companies: Nike, Inc.’s affiliates for the purposes described in the section above. 
  • Service providers: service providers processing personal data on our behalf, for example to host the Platform and manage and service your account; conduct any identity verification, sanctions and compliance checks; distribute emails; engage in research and data analysis; provide security and fraud prevention services, including two-factor authentication; and manage brand and product promotions.  When using service providers, we enter into agreements that require them to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. 
  • Third-party partners of the Platform: for example, because Nike does not itself provide NFT wallets,  to separately establish your NFT wallet and store your NFTs.
  • Other third-parties to the extent necessary: to (i) comply with a government request, a court order or applicable law; (ii) prevent illegal uses of our Platform or violations of our .SWOOSH Terms of Service and our policies; (iii) defend ourselves against third-party claims; and (iv) assist in fraud prevention or investigation (e.g., counterfeiting). 
  • Advisers, agents and financial institutions:including legal, tax, auditors, risk and compliance, notaries and business continuity support services.
  • Any other third party: where you have provided your consent.

We may also transfer personal data we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a reorganization, spin-off, dissolution or liquidation).

The details of your NFT-related transactions are public information and stored on the Polygon blockchain in association with your Polygon wallet addresses. Your User Handle is publicly identified with your wallet address.

Do We “Sell” Personal Data?

We do not sell personal data. We do not sell, or have actual knowledge of any sale of, the personal data of minors under 16 years of age. 

            Your Sharing

When you use certain features on our Platform, such as creating an account, certain information like your User Handle and NFTs you have received will be public.  You may also share personal data when you contact our consumer services or otherwise chat with us or other users via a third-party platform.

PROTECTION and MANAGEMENT of Your Personal Data

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, 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.

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 use a variety of measures to ensure that your transferred personal data receives adequate protection in accordance with data protection rules.

Retention of your Personal Data

Your personal data 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 account.

7. YOUR RIGHTS Relating to Your Personal Data

If you or your authorized agent have a request regarding your personal data that cannot be fulfilled from your account settings, please contact us.  Contact details can be found in the “Questions and Feedback” section below.  We will verify your request either through a message sent to the email address associated with your account (so you must have access to this email account) or by asking you to provide information matching what we have for you within our systems.  Before we can act on a request from your authorized agent, we may require verification of your identity and proof from the authorized agent that they can act on your behalf.

Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of our use and processing of your personal data on the basis of your consent before the point in time when you withdraw your consent.

Where we process your personal data based on our legitimate interest, you have the right to object to such processing.  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.

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

  • Functional: These cookies are required for basic site functionality and are therefore always enabled. These include cookies that allow you to be remembered as you explore our Platform within a single session or, if you request, from session to session. They also help assist in security issues and conforming to regulations.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to improve our Platform’s functionality by tracking usage. In some cases, these cookies improve the speed with which we can process your request and allow us to remember site preferences you have selected. Refusing these cookies may result in slow site performance. 

For a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of every third party accessing your web browser (through the 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.
