GDPR representation for sporting organisations
We understand sport
Many international sporting federations do not have an office or other establishments within the European Union. However, through their regulatory, commercial, educational and broadcast activities they, and their national federations, regularly process vast amounts of personal data on EU data subjects, including sensitive personal data, in connection with monitoring athletes performance, the organisation of youth events, or more recently, in connection with on-site Covid-19 test and trace procedures.
If you are an international sporting federation which falls into this category then the chances are that you will need to appoint an EU Representative under Article 27 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if you do not have your own establishment within the EU and/or the UK.
Willans Data Protection Services can act as your EU Representative in the EU or/and as your UK Representative in the UK.
