The Code, in particular, requires Athletes to furnish a significant am ount of Personal Information to Anti-Doping Organizations .
As a result, it is essential that Anti -Doping Organizations appropriately protect the Personal Information that they Process both to meet legal standards and to ensure the continued confidence and trust of those involved in organized sport.
The Code recognizes and affirms the importance of ensuring that the privacy rights of Persons subject to anti -doping programs based on the Code are fully respected.
In support of this commitment, this International Standard sets forth a minimum, common set of rules to which Anti -Doping Organizations must conform when Processing Personal Information pursuant to the Code.
In some cases, Anti-Doping Organizations may be required by applicable laws to apply rules or standards that exceed those set forth in this International Standard.
A WADA expert reference group reviewed, discussed and prepared this document, and specifically took into account the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) 1980 Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data; the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data (ETS.
No.
108); the APEC Privacy Framework; the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, EU Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (General Data Protection Regulation), and other international and regional data privacy rules, standards and case law, such as the judgement of the European Court of Human Rights of 18 January 2018 (FNASS and others vs. France).
