In order for such a set of data to fall within that concept, it is not necessary that they include data sheets, specific lists or other search methods. – Article 2(d) Directive 95/46, read in the light of Article 10(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, must be interpreted as meaning that it supports the finding that a religious community is a controller, jointly with its members who engage in preaching, for the processing of personal data carried out by the latter in the context of door-to-door preaching organised, coordinated and encouraged by that community, without it being necessary that the community has access to those data, or to establish that that community has given its members written guidelines or instructions in relation to the data processing.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.21552/edpl/2018/3/21} doi = {10.21552/edpl/2018/3/21} }
