Flashcards
0/20
Defamation and Privacy
Athletes are protected from defamatory statements that can harm their privacy reputation. Unauthorized sharing of false or private information leading to defamation is a breach.
Interception of Communications
Intercepting or eavesdropping on athletes' private communications infringes on their privacy, barring a legal warrant or compelling reason.
Surveillance and Monitoring
Athletes can be subject to surveillance for security or performance analytics, but they have a right to privacy that limits unnecessary or excessive monitoring, especially in private areas.
GPS Tracking
Use of GPS tracking devices on athletes should be limited to professional settings and require consent. Privacy is breached if tracking exceeds agreed-upon terms or is conducted secretly.
Right to Be Forgotten
Athletes within certain jurisdictions may invoke the right to be forgotten, requesting the removal of outdated or irrelevant personal information from online platforms.
Personal Data Protection
Personal data such as addresses, contact information, and ID numbers of athletes should be secured. Infringement happens if such data is disclosed without consent, risking identity theft or harassment.
Invasion of Seclusion
Athletes have a right to seclude themselves without intrusion. Infringements occur when there is an unwarranted invasion into their personal space or private activities.
Sexual Harassment and Privacy
Athletes should be free from sexual harassment, which is a profound breach of privacy. This includes unsolicited images, contact, or remarks of a sexual nature.
Medical Privacy
Athletes are entitled to confidentiality regarding their medical records and health information, similar to protections under HIPAA in the U.S. Cases of infringement might occur when an unauthorized individual leaks sensitive health data.
Post-Retirement Data Handling
An athlete's data should still be protected after retirement. Issues arise if previously collected data is not handled with the same care once an athlete ends their professional career.
Social Media Privacy
Athletes have the right to maintain private lives on social media without unwarranted intrusion. Invasion occurs when someone posts private information without the athlete's consent.
Endorsement and Sponsorship Agreements
Privacy rights must be maintained when athletes sign endorsement deals, which may impose data sharing. Violations happen if private data is used beyond the scope of the agreement.
Drug Test Confidentiality
Results from drug tests are confidential and should only be used for the purposes for which they were intended. Unauthorized release could infringe on an athlete's right to privacy.
Right to Image
Athletes control their likeness and image rights. Privacy can be invaded if their image is used commercially without permission, potentially damaging personal integrity.
Public Disclosure of Private Facts
Disclosing private facts about athletes without their consent, like relationship or financial information, may violate their privacy if the facts are not newsworthy or of public concern.
Locker Room Privacy
Athletes have a reasonable expectation of privacy in locker rooms and changing areas. Violations can occur with unauthorized photography or recording in these spaces.
Protection from Paparazzi
Athletes have a right to be safe from relentless paparazzi and photographers who infringe on their personal space and privacy, especially in private settings.
Doping Test Privacy
The results of any doping tests should be confidential, disclosed only to relevant sports authorities. Leaks of such results can be defamatory and damaging to an athlete's career.
False Light
Publishing information about an athlete that portrays them inaccurately or misleadingly can infringe on their privacy, even if the information is not defamatory.
Biometric Data Protections
The collection and use of athletes' biometric data such as fingerprints or DNA must adhere to privacy laws, with abuses occurring when such data is misused or leaked.
