Summary/Abstract: The issue of protection of personal data in religious communities will be subject of a significant change due to (EU) Regulation No. 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The new EU regulation introduces an important mechanism that forces churches to develop an internal data protection law and an independent supervisory authority. In practice this means strengthening the constitutional right to privacy in the largest churches based on their internal institutions, but also involves a risk of subjecting many smaller religious communities to public scrutiny. Many doubts regarding Article 91 presented by Polish commentators specializing in the protection of personal data show how important this issue and the preparation of changes are for religious communities.
