churches across the country have begun banning the publication of the names of ill people in their bulletins, because it is feared it may breach the new personal data statutes
The General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force on Friday is aimed at curbing US tech giants like Google and Facebook...church leaders fear that they face crippling fines if they fall foul of the law.
Holy Family and St Ninian in Kirkintilloch, which is part of the Archdiocese of Glasgow has already told its congregation: “Parishes have been advised that names of the sick can no longer be published in the bulletin without the direct permission of the sick person...All names on the present sick list will be removed next week."
