(165) This Regulation respects and does not prejudice the status under existing constitutional law of churches and religious associations or communities in the Member States, as recognised in Article 17 TFEU.

There is no recital in the Directive related to article 91.

The GDPR

The Regulation takes account of the fact that some Member States have adopted specific rules for the processing of data carried out by churches, associations or religious communities. In view of this, Article 96 allows churches and religious associations or communities to continue to apply the rules on data protection, provided that these rules are brought into line with the provisions of the Regulation.

Churches and religious communities or associations can also be subordinated to a specific supervisory authority, provided that said authority meets the conditions listed in Chapter VI of the Regulation on the independent supervisory authorities (independence, tasks and powers, professional secrecy, reports of activity...).

The Directive

The Directive included no similar provision.

Potential issues

We do not see a priori any specific implementation difficulty.

Article 93

Processing by Churches and Religious Communities

Where churches or religious communities apply comprehensive rules regarding the protection of natural persons in relation to processing, those existing rules may continue to be applied provided that they are aligned with this Law.

In the case referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the provisions of this Law on the inspection and other powers of the Commissioner referred to in Articles 77 to 79 of this Law shall also apply, unless the church or religious community establishes a separate independent supervisory body to exercise those powers, provided that such body meets the conditions provided for by Chapter VI of this Law.
