As a sport organisation, do I need to hire a DPO ?

Art. 37 of the GDPR require the designation of a DPO in three specific cases

  • where the core activities of the controller or the processor consist of processing operations, which require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or
  • where the core activities of the controller or the processor consist of processing on a large scale of special categories of data7 or8 personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences.9
