if you have (explicitly) consented beforehand.

We distinguish between the following categories of third-parties we share personal data with:

other users of our Products,
other services,* Processors,
adidas and other Partners,
authorities including courts and
lawyers and tax advisors.

Moreover, all users will see the number of Followers you have and the amount of people you follow. When your profile is a “private profile”, other users can send you a request to become your Followers. Once you accept this request, all information, which according to your privacy settings, you share with Followers, will become visible for those users, your Followers. Once you make your profile a “public profile”, your profile is fully visible to all other users of our Products by default unless for certain data, like GPS maps for example, you determine otherwise in the privacy settings.

Leaderboard - If you track an activity, you will automatically join a weekly/monthly Leaderboard of accumulated distance, or duration among the people you follow. This means, once you are followed by someone, you will be part of their Leaderboard. You can opt out of this at any time in your privacy settings.
Challenges - We offer participation in competitions with a specific goal in a defined timeframe (“Challenges”). There are different challenges available for registered users to join, potentially with the possibility to win prices. You can compare your ranking/success with all users who are part of the same challenge. First name, last name, profile picture and activity information (e.g. total distance, total duration) are visible to all participating users.
Groups and Communities - Every user can join and create groups and can invite other users to these groups. Users can also be invited to communities. Within a group or community, you can interact with other members and compare your rankings.

LIVE Tracking - The Products include a "LIVE Tracking" feature, which enables your Followers in our Products to see the activity information, including heart rates, of your current sports activity. LIVE Tracking can either be completely activated or completely deactivated. LIVE Tracking is deactivated by default and can be activated at your own discretion.
