Football players, represented by the Global Sports Data and Technology Group (GSDT), are issuing "stop processing" requests to data and betting companies regarding their personal performance and health data. This action stems from ethical concerns about how this information may impact players' careers. Citing Article 21 of the UK's GDPR, these requests aim to prevent misuse of data, particularly as GSDT has faced inaction from companies over five years despite raising these issues. GSDT seeks better control for athletes over their data through its Project Red Card initiative.
"It is disappointing that, despite ongoing engagement with these companies for the past five years, we have reached a point where we must take action to protect our players' and the processing of their data."
"Under Article 21 of the UK's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the right to object to the processing of their personal data."
