EU court adviser: data rules may allow baptismal record erasure

Original: European data rules may allow erasure of baptismal records, EU court adviser says

A final ruling from the court is awaited.

Why now: A senior legal opinion raises the prospect that GDPR privacy rights could apply to Catholic baptismal registers, touching on religion and data protection.
