Frequently asked questions

What is the best European alternative to Nike?
VEJA ranks first of the 3 European alternatives to Nike in our directory, followed by Adidas and Decathlon.
Is Nike GDPR-compliant?
The company is publicly listed and run from a sprawling campus in Beaverton, Oregon. For a US company, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework covers transfers only if Nike is certified under it; otherwise they need standard contractual clauses and a transfer impact assessment, and US laws such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data either way.
