Summary/Abstract: The protection of personal data applies to the exercise of the patient’s right to religious care. This matter is regulated simultaneously by civil law and canon law. This article aims to present some canonical and legal issues concerning the processing of personal data arising in the context of pastoral care by Roman Catholic clergy (hospital chaplains), such as the status of entities involved in the realization of the right to pastoral care, the scope of personal data processed during the realization of this right, the legitimacy of processing.
