Czy Kościelny Inspektor Ochrony Danych jest zobowiązany do udzielenia informacji publicznej?
Is the Church Inspector of Data Protection obliged to share public information?

Summary/Abstract: The Church Inspector of Data Protection (KIOD) is an ecclesiastical office that was faced with the question of the scope of its duties in the context of sharing public information under Polish law. The purpose of this article was to determine whether the KIOD is obliged to provide public information in the scope of its ecclesiastical activities under Polish law. A legal analysis was carried out by reviewing three key premises under the Access to Public Information Act in relation to KIOD’s activities. It was found that the KIOD: (1) it is not a public authority, as it operates on the basis of canon law; (2) it does not fulfil public tasks, as it operates exclusively within church structures; (3) it does not create public information within the meaning of the Act, as its activities fall within the autonomous sphere of the Church. The following conclusion can be drawn from the above: The KIOD is not obliged to provide public information in the scope of its ecclesiastical activities under the provi- sions of Polish law.
