This Privacy Notice tells you how adidas collects and uses the information you provided us which can be used to identify you directly or indirectly ("Personal Data") when you take part in one Contest of the adidas CODE'N'STRIPES Challenges series which will be conducted via the external CodeSignal platform.

# 2. WHAT DOES ADIDAS DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND WHY (CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA, PURPOSE, PROCESSING, LEGAL BASIS)?
# 2.1 Why do we collect and use your personal data? ("Purpose")
adidas is hosting online a series of CODE'N'STRIPES challenges (each referred to as a "Contest"**). CODE'N'STRIPES challenges are a set of coding problems intended to be solved within a 24-hour timeframe. CODE'N'STRIPES challenges are to be solved individually and there is no possibility for questions or support.

# 2.3 What do we do with your personal data? ("Processing")
In order to help us to achieve this Purpose and carry out all the necessary activities described in 2.1, your Personal Data will be subject to the following Processing activities and operations:
- All participants of Contests need to register on the CodeSignal platform separately. BrainFights Inc., the owner of the CodeSignal platform, will access and process participant data in regard to platform functionality and accessibility for participants. They will do so in sole separate data controllership.
- adidas will create the CODE'N'STRIPES challenges and tests for the participants, hence adidas will manage the processing of personal participant data on the platform related to the microchallenges. After participants' registration to the platform and Contest, adidas will get access to participant-generated content (coding input and results) and personal data (name and email address) on CodeSignal platform.
- adidas will assess the participant results for selecting the winners. The top 10 Winners of the microchallenge will be contacted via email by adidas teams to facilitate the prize distribution and sending to participants. In that course, we will ask for your shipping details to facilitate the delivery of your price. We will further ask for your permission to get your name, or if preferred, your alias disclosed on the leaderboard.
- Also links to open job descriptions will be sent via email to participants. In that course, we will only collect click-related data in an aggregated manner for analytics purposes.
# 2.4 How long will we be keeping your personal data? ("Retention Period")
Your data will be deleted from the CodeSignal platform after the termination of the Contest. Winner Participant Data (name and email) will be held to avoid multiple participations for the duration of the CODE'N'STRIPES challenges (according to T&C's).
# 2.5 Who do we share your personal data with? ("Categories of Recipients")
- adidas Data Controllers
- BrainFights Inc. (owner of the CodeSignal platform)
# 2.6 Why are we allowed to use your personal data in the way described for this purpose? ("Legal Basis")
Our use of your Personal Data processed by adidas is based on performance of contract to enable you to participate in the adidas CODE'N'STRIPES challenges. In case you will be one of the 10 winners of a Contest, your name or alias together with your score will be disclosed upon your explicit consent.
