SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR SOUTH AFRICAN USERS

Reference to personal data or personal information in the ASICS privacy policy shall mean personal information as defined in the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (“POPIA”) insofar as the processing activities and data subjects fall within the ambit of POPIA. Personal data accordingly includes the personal information of an identifiable, living, natural person and where applicable, an existing juristic person (company).

Reference to data controllers in the ASICS privacy policy shall include responsible parties as defined in POPIA.

Reference to data processors in the ASICS privacy policy shall include operators as defined in POPIA.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Save for personal data that we are required or permitted by law to collect, all personal data provided by you is provided voluntarily. However, if you do not provide the personal data requested by us, or you revoke consent previously provided, we may not be able to effectively manage our relationship with you and provide products and/or the Services to you.

SPECIAL CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA

Reference to special categories of personal data includes Special Personal information as defined in POPIA (i.e. religious or philosophical beliefs, race or ethnic origin, trade union membership, political persuasion, health or sex life, biometric information, and criminal behaviour to the extent that such information relates to the alleged commission by a data subject of any offence or any proceedings in respect of any offence allegedly committed by a data subject or the disposal of such proceedings.)

We will only use health data you voluntarily provide us and such only with your prior consent or under your direction to do so and only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. You may refuse or revoke your consent at any time, as set out below (see 'Your Rights') but should you not provide the data or revoke your consent then we may not be able to manage our relationship with you and provide products and/or the Services to you.

WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION

• Use of information based on your consent

We may process your personal data on the basis of your specific, informed and voluntary consent.

We may also use the Special Personal Information referred to above (i.e. health data ) for the purposes set out in this ASICS privacy policy but we will only do so after we have received your consent thereto.

You can withdraw your consent at any time but this may affect the way in which we manage our relationship with you and may have an impact on the products and Services that we can provide.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE

Our online Services are not directed to children under 18 years of age. If you believe we have collected information about a child under the age of 18, please contact us (see 'Information Officer - Contact and Queries' below) so that we may take appropriate steps to delete such information.

If you are under 18 years of age, please get the consent of your parent or legal guardian or another competent person before you give us any personal data about yourself. Your parent or guardian or another competent person should contact us here and provide us with their name, e-mail address and any other identifying information that we may request. ASICS needs this information in order to verify that they have provided the necessary consent. We may follow up by phone or other means in some circumstances. If you are under 18 years of age, do not contact us or provide us with any personal data until after your parent or guardian or another competent person has sent us an e-mail consenting to your contact and provision of such information.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Where required by POPIA or other applicable laws, ASICS will ensure that recipients of your personal data are subject to a binding agreement which provides an adequate level of protection for the processing of your personal data similar to that of POPIA. We will also obtain the necessary regulatory approvals where such transfers require regulatory approval in terms of applicable data protection laws.

DATA RETENTION

We may retain your personal data for a longer period than the period required to satisfy the purpose for which your personal data was collected and processed or which is necessary for our legal obligations or to defend a legal claim if such retention period is required or authorized in terms of applicable laws, is required by a contract between ASICS and you, or on the basis of your consent. ASICS may also retain personal data for historical, statistical or research purposes provided there are appropriate safeguards against the personal data being used for any other purpose.

YOUR RIGHTS

Subject to applicable laws, you have the following rights concerning your personal data: the right to request access to your personal data; the right to request the correction, destruction or deletion of your personal data; the right to object on reasonable grounds to the processing of your personal data where the processing is on the basis that it protects your legitimate interests or is on the basis that it is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interests of ASICS or a third party to whom the personal data is supplied; the right to object to the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing; the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on the basis of automated processing of your personal data; the right to submit a compliant to the Information Regulator in South Africa; and the right to institute civil proceedings.

In case you may have a question or complaint about how we process your personal data, you can send an email to the ASICS company responsible for processing your personal data (an overview can be found here). Alternatively, you may consider lodging a complaint with the Information Regulator.
