Ethics in Sport Practice Test

The main idea here is protecting athletes’ privacy when collecting biometric data. Anonymizing data where possible helps to separate the information from identifiable individuals, so if the data were accessed, it’s harder to link it back to a person. Minimizing what is collected means only gathering data that is actually needed for the stated purpose, reducing the amount at risk and the potential for misuse. Secure storage—with strong protections like encryption, limited access, and audit trails—keeps the data from falling into the wrong hands and ensures accountability.

Collecting everything without consent undermines privacy and trust, and can violate ethical and legal standards. Sharing data with all partners expands access beyond controlled use, increasing the chance of misuse or leakage. Storing data indefinitely without safeguards keeps information around longer than necessary, elevating risk without providing corresponding benefit.
