How do we use your information?

Your data is used for the purpose of analyzing 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 if 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.
