Data Transfer of Controllership FAQ

What’s happening?

If you’re reading this, it’s because you may have seen a pop-up in our apps or an email notifying you about a process we have initiated to transfer the controllership of your personal data or risk the deletion of it. Not to worry! We’re here to clarify everything you need to know in order to keep you informed about what’s happening with your personal data and make sure you can continue to use our apps as seamlessly as possible.

What’s the transfer of data controllership?

As mentioned in the notification, adidas Runtastic has been a proud member of the adidas family since 2015, but we’re currently moving even closer to our parent company. In order to do that, we are changing the entity that provides the sports apps to you as a user. Here’s the legal breakdown: 

  • Starting in 2022, we began to provide our sports apps as a feature/benefit of adiClub Membership through adidas. This change was rolled out starting in March, but the actual date may vary depending on the country in which you reside.

  • All of your sports app activity data collected since then, is currently being processed under the responsibility of adidas and according to the adiClub Privacy Notice.
  • The personal data collected under your previous contract with Runtastic (which will end on the Deletion Start Date as defined in the table below) and processed according to the Runtastic Privacy Notice is still available in the apps at this point in time. We need your authorization to
    • transfer this data under your adiClub Membership, i.e. to further process it under controllership of adidas and according to the membership Privacy Notice
    • merge it with your adidas data (if available).
  • If you provide authorization by accepting the data transfer, you will continue to be able to access the historical data in our apps. If you do not provide authorization, that data will be deleted permanently starting at the end of the opt-in period
  • If you have purchased a Premium Membership, your paid Premium Membership will still be provided by Runtastic. 

When will I be able to opt in or out? When will this data be deleted? Who will be responsible for processing my data?

This depends on the country in which you reside. To make this as simple as possible, we have created the following table which contains all the information you need regarding the timeframe in which you can give your authorization, the responsible entity, as well as when the deletion will begin to take effect.

Why is this happening now? 

This transition will allow us to provide you with a better experience across the entire adidas digital universe. It will also allow us to continue to work toward tailoring experiences specific to your individual interests as an athlete and deliver on the feedback from our amazing community. 

What data would I lose?

If the opt-in is declined, all personal data present on your account that was recorded before the date listed in the table above, will be deleted once the opt-in period has passed. It will not be possible to recover this data once it has been deleted.

This includes (but is not limited to):

  • Activities
  • Followers
  • Challenge joins and contributions
  • Newsfeed entries
  • Goals

Data recorded after the date mentioned in the table, will still be present within your account.

If I don’t opt in, will my entire account be deleted?

No, you will still be able to log into your account after the data deletion takes place. However, any data/progress/activities recorded before the date mentioned in the table will no longer be available.

How do I opt in?

This part is easy! Once you see the pop-up message in the app, you simply need to tap on the button labeled ‘Transfer data.’ Once done, there is no further action required on your part, and all your activities and progress will remain as they always have.

If you declined already: no need to worry! You will see reminders in the app in the weeks leading up to the respective deletion date, which will allow you to opt in once more. There will be plenty of opportunities to transfer your personal data right up until the date the opt-in period ends. After the pop-up message is shown, you can always review this information via the ‘Bell’ icon in the Feed tab.

Once I’ve opted in, what’s next?

That’s it! Once you’ve confirmed that you’ve accepted this transfer, there is no need for any further action on your part whatsoever. We at adidas Runtastic will handle the rest from here on out and ensure that you can continue enjoying all that our apps have to offer!

Can I still save my data if I choose not to opt in?

Yes, you can export your data ahead of time in order to save it before the deletion takes place. More information on how to do this can be found here. If you choose, you can also import your data back into the apps at a later point in time.
