WADA and Anti-Doping Organizations share responsibility for ensuring that Personal Information Processed in connection with anti-doping activities is protected as required by data protection and privacy laws, principles and standards. The main purpose of this International Standard is to ensure that organizations and persons involved in anti-doping in sport apply appropriate, sufficient and effective privacy protections to Personal Information that they Process, regardless of whether this is also required by applicable laws.

No. 108); Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and other international and regional data privacy rules and standards.
The official text of the International Standard for Privacy and Personal Information shall be maintained by WADA and shall be published in English and French. In the event of any conflict between the English and French versions, the English version
shall be controlling.
The International Standard for Privacy and Personal Information shall come into effect on 1 January 2009. It shall be updated from time to time, as needed, to reflect developments in applicable laws and anti-doping practices.
