Meganavigation Breadcrumb UKAD Anti doping privacy notice Share Facebook Twitter Anti-Doping Privacy Notice 01/01/2021 Summary of how and why UKAD uses your data • The UK Parliament has ratified the UNESCO International Convention Against Doping in Sport, thereby formally committing the UK to the pursuit of doping-free sport based on the principles set out in the World Anti-Doping Code (‘the Code’). • UKAD is the National Anti-Doping Organisation for the UK, and we process personal data (including sensitive personal data/special category data, such as data relating to Athletes' health and physical condition) to fulfil our regulatory functions under the UK National Anti-Doping Policy and the UK Anti-Doping Rules. This processing is done in exercise of our public interest functions – primarily, for the purposes of eliminating doping in sport. • Data may be shared with a number of third parties. We share data with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), notably through ADAMS (a web-based data management system developed and administered by WADA), so that it can fulfill its own role under the Code. We also share data with Anti-Doping Organisations as defined in the Code, including other National Anti-Doping Organisations i.e. those in other countries, International Federations, the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and Major Event Organisations, and other relevant organisations, including the National Olympic Committees, National Paralympic Committees, Commonwealth Games Associations, the home country Sports Councils and sports’ national governing bodies. We also share information with the police and other law enforcement agencies, and other relevant regulators and authorities. • UKAD will share data overseas, both with WADA in Canada and Switzerland using ADAMS, and as necessary with other Anti-Doping Organisations where this is as a result of an Athlete’s travel or competition, or as necessary to share appropriate information and/or intelligence. • This summary is expanded upon below, where further detail is provided of UKAD’s data processing, as well as details of your data protection rights, your right to object to certain processing, and details of how we ensure the adequacy of international transfers. • As the National Anti-Doping Organisation for the UK, in most instances UKAD will be the sole data controller for the personal data it collects and processes about you. In some circumstances, we may agree to share responsibility with another organisation within a particular sport or competition. • In particular, if you are a participant in football, we share responsibility with The Football Association. More information on The FA’s use of your data can be found in their anti-doping privacy policy. • In some circumstances, we may provide services to other Anti-Doping Organisations – we will make it clear, in these circumstances, which entity is the controller, but may make use of our own Doping Control Forms. The Anti-Doping Organisation with testing authority will provide more details of how they use your data in their own privacy notices. • Where we carry out Out-of-Competition testing and this reveals the presence of social drugs that are not prohibited under the UK Anti-Doping Rules unless present in a sample taken In-Competition, these results will be shared where this is requested by a relevant governing body. Such governing bodies may have policies or rules in relation to social drug use Out-of-Competition. See the privacy policies of your relevant governing body to find out more about how such data may be processed. • UKAD seeks Athletes’ consent for the retention of their samples for research purposes after samples would otherwise be destroyed. Where an Athlete agrees, their anonymised sample will be shared with WADA–accredited laboratories to undertake anti-doping research in the pursuit of enhancing the analytical capabilities used to uphold clean sport. Athletes can withdraw this consent at any time until their sample is anonymised. No adverse conclusions will be drawn if an Athlete refuses to provide such consent, or withdraws it.
