When can I disclose participants’ data?

Things like providing a child’s information to their parent, disclosing a child’s contact details for the club’s or association’s marketing, or sending competition results to a website can all count as disclosing personal data.

The data subject, in this case the child participating in the hobby or their parent, must be informed of the disclosure of their personal data. As a rule, the data subject must be informed of the disclosure of their data already when they provide their personal data to the hobby organiser.

• For example, if the hobby organiser regularly discloses children’s personal data to a website publishing competition results, the child should be informed of this as soon as they start the hobby.

Personal data may not be disclosed to just anyone. In general, you cannot disclose a child’s personal data to other children in the same team, their parents, or outsiders

If someone asks you for a child’s personal data and you are not sure what to do, contact the club’s administration or another adult involved in the hobby, such as a coach. The adults running the association always have the primary responsibility for the processing of personal data.
