                                     5.2.l.     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 Creators Club 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.

PROCESSING

We send you marketing messages that we think you would be interested (“personalised”) to the email address you provide to us or via push-notifications when you have installed our app. To send you “personalised” messages, we observe your online (and sometimes, where applicable, offline) behaviour, and analyse your behaviour using analytics to best estimate what product lines you might be interested in, and you can benefit from.
