Abstract
The opinion presents the national standards concerning the information and rectification rights of members of religious organizations, which were defined by the Polish legislator in the act of 29 August 1997 on personal data protection. It also discusses the legal regime for the processing of personal data by religious organizations in their statutory activity. The main purpose of the opinion is to address the question of the scope of the information and rectification rights in cases where there are no adequate autonomous norms of the internal law of religious organizations regarding personal data protection. The Author concludes that in such situations members of religious communities can make use of the relevant state procedures.
