The current version of the International Standard for the Protection of Privacy and Personal Information (ISPPPI) went into force on 1 January 2021*.
The purpose of ISPPPI is to ensure that Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) apply appropriate, sufficient and effective privacy protections to the personal information they process when conducting anti-doping programs. This is in recognition of the fact that personal information gathered in the anti-doping context can have an impact on and implicate the privacy rights of persons involved in and associated with organized sport.
* A revised version to come into force on 1 January 2021 was approved by the WADA Executive Committee at the World Conference on Doping in Sport in Katowice on 7 November 2019. Following a limited supplementary consultation period, a further revised version was approved by the WADA Executive Committee on 15 September 2020 and is effective as of 1 January 2021.This version incorporates minor, clarifying revisions to Annex A, which were approved by the WADA Executive Committee on 24 November 2021, and has been effective since this date.
Guidelines
The International Standard for the Protection of Privacy and Personal Information (ISPPPI) is supported by the non-mandatory Guidelines for Privacy. These Guidelines aim to better equip Anti-Doping Organizations (ADOs) in applying appropriate and effective privacy protections, as described in the ISPPPI.
Where the ISPPPI sets forth a minimum of what to do, the Guidelines aim to help ADOs understand how to do it through examples and suggestions. Where possible, the Guidelines show ADOs how they can how to go above and beyond the minimum standard
