| Abstract: | The article outlines the athletes' data protection framework in Slovenia and addresses selected internationally recognised issues within this context. When it comes to athletes' data, we distinguish the competition data and performance data. The latter is particularly vulnerable and, at the same time, desired by various clubs or event organisers who want to monetise this data solely for their own benefit. In some cases, misuse or unlawful disclosures occur due to a lack of legal bases. However, in some other examples, the legal basis is provided by law – that is, especially common in cases of more comprehensive data collections gathered by official bodies or authorities, such as the Ministry of Sport. Furthermore, the article presents several legal acts that either directly or indirectly protect athletes' data. Even though the protection does not always specifically address athletes, but rather individuals in general, that does not mean the protection is inadequate or insufficient. Finally, the paper also addresses more specific topics – athletes' data protection in the event of anti-doping rule violations, as well as the particular regulation of athletes' health data. |
