CRII: SaTC: A Contextual Integrity Approach for Privacy Reasoning Regarding Performance Tracking Technologies in US College Athletics

大学体育是美国高等教育机构组织的体育项目和比赛。大学体育部门越来越多地采用各种技术来跟踪运动成绩，通常是通过可穿戴设备来收集学生运动员的生物特征数据（例如心率、耗氧量）。尽管有可能加强训练和减少伤害，但这些性能跟踪技术收集了来自学生运动员的各种个人数据，可能会侵犯他们的隐私。该项目研究了与大学体育运动中这些技术相关的复杂数据隐私问题，并制定了在不损害学生运动员数据隐私的情况下利用这些技术的策略。本项目应用上下文完整性隐私框架，全面分析在大学体育运动中使用成绩跟踪技术的上下文数据隐私问题。具体来说，研究团队利用计算机、生物伦理学、法律、运动医学和健康信息学方面的现有研究，创建了一个一致的多学科分类法，用于分析围绕性能跟踪技术的数据隐私。然后，该团队对学生运动员和教练进行采访和调查研究，以确定潜在的侵犯隐私的数据实践，并阐明采用这些技术的效用和隐私权衡。最后，该团队与他们所在机构的体育部合作，开发研究驱动的隐私策略，以采用性能跟踪技术。项目成果扩大了情境完整性隐私框架在大学体育情境中的应用，并通过最大限度地减少潜在的隐私伤害来提高学生运动员的整体幸福感。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

College athletics are organized athletic programs and competitions in higher education institutions across the United States. College athletic departments have increasingly adopted various technologies to track sports performance, often through wearable devices that collect student athletes’ biometric data (e.g., heart rate, oxygen consumption). Despite the potential to enhance training and reduce injuries, these performance tracking technologies gather various personal data from student athletes that may violate their privacy. This project examines the complex data privacy issues associated with these technologies in college athletics and develops strategies to leverage these technologies without compromising student athletes’ data privacy.This project applies the privacy framework of contextual integrity to comprehensively analyze contextual data privacy issues regarding using performance tracking technologies in college athletics. Specifically, the research team draws on existing research in computing, bioethics, laws, sports medicine, and health informatics to create a consistent multidisciplinary taxonomy for analyzing data privacy around performance tracking technologies. Then, the team conducts interview and survey research with student athletes and coaches to identify potentially privacy-intrusive data practices and to articulate the utility-privacy tradeoff of adopting these technologies. Finally, the team collaborates with the athletic department at their institution to develop research-driven privacy strategies for adopting performance tracking technologies. The project outcomes widen the application of the privacy framework of contextual integrity in the context of college athletics and improve student athletes’ overall well-being by minimizing potential privacy harms.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
