The Challenge and Governance of Personal Information Protection in the Era of Smart Sports——Take the Public Smart Sports Facilities as an Example

In the era of smart sports, information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data have been widely used in the field of sports. While meeting people's personalized sports needs, they also bring challenges to the personal information protection. Due to the huge scale and wide scope of the information collected, and the large number of subjects concerned, public smart sports facilities are facing personal information security risks that cannot be ignored. Using a combination of literature, comparative and survey interview methods, the study analyzed the personal information processing related to public smart sports facilities such as smart parks and smart trails in China, and found that the legitimacy of information collection was not clear. The information is over-processed, the power and responsibilities of the competent authority are vague, and the industrial norms is imperfect. In order to solve the crisis in the era of smart sports appropriately, it is necessary to summarize the international experience of the legislation on the public use of biometric technology and the security governance of the Internet of Things. The related rules in the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China and the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China also need to be fully respected. It is required to form multi-subject and multi-level governance measures considering four dimensions: prudently using the biometric information technology, strengthening government supervision, clearing boundary of public interest exemption, and encouraging self-discipline of facility manufacturers.
