3. Purpose and legal basis of Data Management

  • Purpose of Data Processing: In accordance with the rules of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the protection of the integrity of persons involved in doping controls, in particular athletes (including the data subject himself) and HUNADO doping control officers, during doping controls. The ultimate goal of data management is to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The legal basis of Data Processing: (i) the processing of personal data is necessary for purposes of the legitimate interests of HUNADO and third parties [Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR], in the case of Hungarian-resident athletes and persons participating in their control, the data processing is in the public interest [Article 6 (1) GDPR ) (e)], (ii) the processing of health data is carried out with the consent of the data subject [Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR] and in the public interest in the area of public health, such protecting against serious cross-border threats to health [GDPR Article 9 (2) (i)].

4. Data Management in the public interest

The interest in carrying out an anti-doping activity is in the public interest, as follows:

a)    Hungary in accordance with 99/2007. (V. 8.) promulgated the International Convention Against Doping in Sport, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2005 (hereinafter referred to as the "Convention"). Under Article 3 of the Convention, States Parties, including Hungary, are required to adopt measures in accordance with the principles of the World Anti-Doping Code adopted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) on 5 March 2003 in Copenhagen.

b)    Act I of 2004 on Sport (hereinafter: the “Sport Act”) classifies the protection of the purity of sport and the reduction of prohibited performance enhancements as a substantial public interest, on the basis of which HUNADO is entitled to process personal data, including health, genetic and biometric data.

c)    In the field of anti-doping, the management and transfer of data, in view of the large number of data subjects and cross-border global cooperation, is also mentioned in the current Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) itself in the context of the "public interest", with the aim of restricting and/or eliminating the use of doping substances in sport.
 

5. Enforcement of legitimate interest as a legal basis

 

During an epidemic, it is in the fundamental interest of both the athlete / sports professionals and, more broadly, society as a whole, to prevent a person suspected of being infected from participating in doping control, thus preventing the spread of the epidemic.

Doping control during an epidemic period, as it is necessarily carried out from human body fluids and involving personal contact, may be performed safely if the suspicion of infection in the persons concerned can be ruled out. The suspicion of infection may be realized by an epidemiological risk assessment of the person concerned.
At the same time, it is a fundamental right and interest of athletes and sports professionals involved in data processing that their rights to the protection of their personal data are not violated.

Considering that,

  • all athletes, sports professionals, sports organizations, States Parties and their citizens who have acceded to the Convention have a universal legal interest in the enforcement of anti-doping rules;
  • these doping controls can only be carried out without epidemiological risk (infection) and with absolute protection of the values of human life and health (and thus the data subjects themselves will benefit from the data management associated with risk assessment),​
the legitimate interests expressed in this section take precedence over the interest of the Athlete / Sports Professional / other persons involved in doping control that their personal data are not to be processed by HUNADO.

 

6. The public interest in public health and the consent of the data subject as a legal basis

The public interest in public health, such as the protection against serious cross-border threats to health, is the legal basis for data processing also referred to in the GDPR [Article 9 (2) (i) GDPR]. This legal basis may be based on the relevant national or EU law.

s data processing can take place on several legal bases at the same time, in the absence of uniform national and EU legislation, we also ask for your personal, voluntary consent, based on this prior information, to the health data needed to identify the epidemiological risk.
