Last Effective Date: April 1, 2022

This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to “Consumers”, defined as California residents by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and supplements ASICS America Corporation’s and ASICS Runner App Inc.’s (collectively, “Company”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) other privacy policies or notices. This Notice provides information for Consumers, as required under California laws, including the CCPA. In the event of a conflict between any other Company policy, statement or notice and this Notice, this Notice will prevail as to a Consumers’ “Personal Information” (as defined by the CCPA) (also referred to as “PI” herein) and rights under the CCPA.

Scope. This Notice provides information to Consumers about the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of Consumers’ PI, and the rights Consumers have under the CCPA, and provides other required notices to California residents under California laws.

This Notice does not address or apply to our collection and processing of PI that is exempt from CCPA: including publicly available information lawfully made available by state or federal government records. Further, consistent with the CCPA, this Notice does not apply to job applicants, current and former employees, personnel and independent contractors (collectively, “Personnel”), whose PI is subject to separate privacy notices.  This Notice also does not apply to information related to business-to-business communications and contacts acting in their capacity as representatives of another business (“B2B Contacts”). Personnel and B2B Contacts are not considered “Consumers” for purposes of this Notice, or the rights described herein.   

In certain contexts, ASICS may act as a Service Provider to other businesses. For example, where ASICS operates as a Service Provider to wholesalers and retailers. In that capacity, ASICS may receive some limited PI to perform services for other businesses, such as to ship products directly to individuals. Please note that in such case, processing of the PI is subject to the respective business’s privacy policy, not this Notice.

Terms defined in the CCPA that are used in this Notice shall have the same meaning as in the CCPA.

Sales of PI. 

Under the CCPA, “sale” is defined broadly and may include, for example, disclosures to third parties to provide or support personalized advertising, such as through third party cookies and tags. While we do not share your PI with third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we do share Internet Usage Information and Identifiers with third party advertising networks, social networks and data analytics providers (via cookies, tags and similar devices on our websites and mobile apps) to provide personalized online advertising, improve and measure our ad campaigns and reach users with more relevant ads and content. Under the CCPA, some of this data sharing may be broadly considered a sale of information.  We will not sell the PI about Consumers who we know are younger than 16 years old. Consumers may opt out of “sales” of their PI as explained below.

i) Sources of PI

We may collect your PI directly from you; from your devices; from your email accounts, chat logs or social media accounts; from Service Providers such as analytics companies or order processors; from other Third Parties such as data providers or joint marketing providers; from other third parties, such as your friends or family; from other ASICS entities. For more specifics regarding each category of PI, see the chart above.

ii) Use of PI

Generally, we process your PI to provide you with our products and services (the “Services”), for commercial purposes, and as otherwise related to the operation of our business, as set forth below. We may collect, use and disclose the PI described in the chart above for one or more of the following business purposes:

  • Performing our agreement with you (including to manage and handle purchases, transactions, to provide our products and services to you, and to manage your accounts and profiles);

  • Improving Products and Services (including to improve our products and Services as well as to better understand our customers both on an aggregated and on an individual basis);
  • Advertising (including to promote our products and Services and to allow us to provide, personalise, measure, and improve our digital advertising on and offline, also by working with our advertising partners and social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Google, Snapchat, and Pinterest);
  • Personalize content (including to further customize your training plan, allow you to adjust a specific run to the ground circumstances (i.e., concrete, trail or treadmill) or provide you with more detailed information about your runs;
  • Analytics and statistics (including to generate aggregated statistics and analytics about users of our products and Services and in store visitors);
  • Surveys and feedback (including to obtain feedback on our products and Services and develop and improve the quality of our products and Services (e.g., by conducting customer satisfaction surveys or research);

  • To our Partners. Such as where we offer you a service or application in co-operation with a partner or co-sponsor.
  • To Race Roster.

  • To advertising or marketing partners. We may disclose limited personal information (such as electronic identifiers, contact information, country and conversion status) to our advertising partners and social media platforms to show you suggestions and targeted ads (including on third party sites and platforms) or to create specific target audiences.

d) Other Retailers and Distributors of Asics products and services

ASICS may receive some limited PI to perform services for other Businesses, such as to ship products directly to Consumers for retailers or distributors that have the direct relationship with the Consumer and to which we act as a Service Provider, but that PI is not subject to our rights request obligations to Consumers since we retain it only as a Service Provider.  You will need to make your requests directly to those Businesses with which you have the Consumer relationship.

4) Financial Incentive Programs

You can sign-up for an OneASICS account, which gives you access to certain membership benefits, which may include, from time-to-time, free shipping rates, free trials, rewards and other benefits (as further explained in our OneASICS FAQs here, subject to the OneASICS terms which can be found here and are also made available to you at the time you sign up). As part of OneASICS, we collectmember PI in order to set up,  operate, and administer your OneASICS account, and for purposes of providing members with various membership benefits.

Signing up for an OneASICS account is optional. To participate you must opt-in to OneASICS and register a free account.  You can terminate your account at any time. You can also keep your account and still opt-out of our promotional emails (however we will still send you transactional and informational emails related to your OneASICS account). Our collection of PI under our OneASICS program, could be characterized as a “financial incentive” under the CCPA given that we provide member-only benefits.

The financial incentive ASICS offers to participating Consumers through OneASICS is reasonably related to the value of the Consumers’ data. As a basis for offering the OneASICS program, ASICS has valued the PI it obtains through the program based on a reasonable and good faith calculation determined by considering expenses related to OneASICS. In doing so, we value the PI collected through the OneASICS program as the equivalent of our total program expenses incurred to provide the program, including IT, administration, direct costs, third party costs, and service development costs. We operate the program and make the program benefits available to foster a positive relationship with members, which we consider to be invaluable.

Consumers should review the benefits description and program terms linked to in this paragraph above, so that they can make an informed decision on whether to participate.

5) Additional California Notices

In addition to CCPA rights, certain Californians are entitled to certain other notices, including:

a) Third Party Marketing and Your California Privacy Rights

Separate from your CCPA rights, California’s “Shine the Light” law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of PI to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

We do not share personal information of our customers, as those terms are defined by California Civil Code § 1798.83 (“Shine the Light law” or “STL”) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without either obtaining your consent or giving you the ability to opt-out. To opt-out of sharing within our family of companies (affiliates) for their direct marketing purposes, notify us at the postal or email address(es) noted below (you must make separate requests to AAC and ARA). Our sharing with non-affiliates will be on an opt-in basis for California customers so there is no need to opt-out of that sharing. If you are a California customer, you may also request information about our compliance with the Shine the Light law by contacting us here or by sending a letter, to the following address, as applicable. Compliance is met by providing the California customers the opt-in and opt-out choices described in this paragraph above. You must identify the ASICS entity to which your request relates in your email or letter.

For ASICS and Onitsuka Tiger:

ASICS America Corporation (AAC)
7755 Irvine Center Drive, Suite 400
Irvine, CA 92618
Attention: General Counsel

For Runkeeper and ASICS Studio:

ASICS Runner App Inc. (ARA)
125 Summer Street, 2nd Floor
Boston, MA 02110
Attention: Corporate Counsel

Any such request must include “California STL Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code.  Please indicate if you are opting out of affiliate sharing, seeking information on our compliance, or both. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not required to respond to requests made by means other than through these email addresses or mail addresses.

As these rights and your CCPA rights are not the same and exist under different laws, you must exercise your rights under each law separately. You must also make STL requests to AAC and ARA separately.

b) Online Privacy Practices

For more information on our online practices and your California rights specific to our online services see ASICS Privacy Policy. Without limitation, Consumers that visit our online services and seek or acquire goods or services for personal, family or household purposes are entitled to the following notices of their rights:

i) Tracking and Targeting

When you visit our online services, we and third parties may use tracking technologies to collect usage information based on your device for a variety of purposes, including serving you advertising, based on your having visited our services or your activities across time and third-party locations. Some browsers may enable you to turn on or off a so-called “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no industry consensus on what these signals should mean and how they should operate, we do not look for or respond to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on tracking and targeting and your choices regarding these practices, see ASICS Privacy Policy.

ii) California Minors

Any California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have registered to use our online services, and who posted content or information on the service, can request removal by contacting us here, detailing where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it.  Subject to our reasonable verification of your identity, we will then make reasonably good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it, so the minor cannot be individually identified to the extent required by applicable law.  This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished or archived content by search engines and others that we do not control.
