This study aims to highlight the relevance of the figure of the data protection officer established by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR) when it comes to guaranteeing the protection and supervision of personal and private information of athletes that has to be processed by sports federations. In this regard, it is essential to analyse the essential contours of this new figure and how it affects and what effects it has within the Spanish legal system, which must directly implement and complement with internal regulations the postulates of this new community regulation on privacy and personal data protection, by means of Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on Personal Data Protection and guarantee of digital rights or LOPDGDD.
