NIKE European Operations Netherlands B.V. and NIKE Retail B.V operate this site. The server for this site is located in London, UK and is managed by our ASP partner, Job Partners, for the exclusive purpose of Nike recruitment needs.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of each NIKE site.

Nike Privacy Principles

1. Personal data shall be collected, processed, and transported fairly and in accordance with all laws and, in particular, shall not be processed unless:
   • The requirements of the EU Directive on Personal Data Privacy are met;
   • All country-specific data protection laws are met; and
   • The data subject provides unambiguous written authorisation.
2. Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified business and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes;
   
3. Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes or purposes for which they are processed;
   
4. Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
   
5. Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes; personal data shall not be maintained longer than two years from the last date of a relationship unless local law requires additional years due to government regulations or taxation issues;
   
6. Personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under the EU Directive and country-specific data protection laws;
   
7. Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised access or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data;
   
8. Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Union, unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection (equal to or greater than the laws of the transferring country) for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data. Where transfer is required to a country without adequate data protection laws, the company will ensure complete compliance with all laws and certify that, despite the lack of federal laws mandating personal data protection, the company has implemented the mandatory requirements of the EU Directive and country-specific data protection laws.
   

How do we use your information?

Your data is used for the purpose of analysing your experience, skills and expertise, and matching those with our employment opportunities. We look at both current and future needs and share your data with the relevant Nike departments and hiring manager to determine the feasibility of employment with the company.

How do we protect your information?

Because Nikebiz.com/Jobs/EMEA is a career site, we give you the option of putting your CV and personal information in our database and thereby collect personal information. Every 6 months your data will automatically be set to "inactive", which means your data is not searchable for Nike anymore. Your profile is still valid and becomes active again as soon as you log in and update your details. (except in those cases were your data is shortlisted) We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. We review access rights on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the laws. Although we do everything technologically and humanly possible to protect the data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for their purposes. However, upon detecting any unauthorised access we will take immediate action.

Disclosure of information

We may disclose information to companies and individuals we employ as partners to perform functions on our exclusive behalf. Examples may include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions and services for which we have contracted, but they may not share that information with any other third party. These partners are under contractual obligation to comply with all data privacy laws worldwide and will be held accountable to do so.

We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of NIKE or its affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.

Nike may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to each of its Web sites with its clients, partners and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors to Nike's site and how those visitors use the site. This aggregated anonymous information will in no way be tied to you or any other individual.

Updating/Deleting personal information

If your CV or other personal profile details change or if you no longer desire to be registered, you can update and / or delete your details online. If for any reason, you are unable to delete the information yourself, we will delete it upon your request.
