The article addresses the issue of the form of the contract for entrustment of personal data processing under canon law. The author examines the provisions of canon law and generally applicable law, including the GDPR. The arguments used in the article derive mainly from the principles of data processing, the principles of interpretation of canon law referred to in canon 17. The conclusion is clear: a data processing entrustment agreement in canon law must be in writing or at least in documentary form in order to comply with legal requirements and standards of personal data protection.
