LIMITATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS ARISING FROM THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA REVEALING RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION
Journal Title: Studia z Prawa Wyznaniowego - Year 2010, Vol 13, Issue 13
Abstract
The right of personal data protection is regarded to be one of the basic guarantees of the individual’s status in contemporary democratic societies. Art. 51. of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997 indicates that this right comprises the basic rights of personal data subjects: an individual’s freedom from disclosing information concerning his person (Art. 51 Sect. 1), the right granted to every Polish citizen of access to official documents and data collections concerning himself (Art. 51, Sect. 3), the right to demand the correction or deletion of untrue or incomplete information, or information acquired by means contrary to statute (Art 51, Sect. 4). The rights of data subjects are not unconditional and they are limited based on constitutional and statutory premises. The premises that restrict the protection of personal data include, among others, the processing of personal data revealing religious beliefs and denomination, which, under Art. 27 of the Act on the Protection of Personal Data of 29 August 1997, require special protection (being particularly sensitive). The rights of data subjects are limited by allowing churches and other religious unions to process the data, by lack of an obligation to register data collections including any such data, and by significant limitation of the controlling and supervisory competences of the Inspector General for Personal Data Protection (GIODO).
