The computer and the networks are strong tools with respect to information. The digitalized world shares information to an extent never known before. Many benefits derive from these developments but at the same time there is little doubt that privacy, in the meaning of keeping personal information secluded and controlled, is endangered. The societal need for personal information is huge, and it has become a difficult task to maintain boundaries of privacy. "
In the New Zealand context, "without doubt, applying these principles in the Church context, the impact of using modern technologies for the pastoral ministry and the mission of the Church as well as the need to establish appropriate policies becomes evident. Trust and confidence of the faithful will rely on the tripart relationship: modern technologies available, the Church's use of these modern technologies as established policies, and transparency. The Church is not "free" in establishing policies on the use of modern IT services; in parts she is bound by civil regulations such as the revised New Zealand's civil privacy act from 2020. This study intends to outline various aspects regarding good governance in the protection of privacy and personal information which enhances trust and empowers the people of God."

What are your thoughts when someone you just met says, “Ah yes, I’ve heard everything about you!” or ever heard of the idiom “Your reputation precedes you”? What exactly did they hear and what is the “reputation” which precedes the person?
This article seeks to focus on the difference between the old and revised canons 1390 and 1391 of the Code of Canon Law 1983 with regards to the impact on the rights to good reputation and privacy and its possible practical effects in the civil and canonical realm.

passionately spoke of privacy, he called it the fountainhead of all other rights that
should be protected, for it gives us the ability to share with the world who we are in our
own terms and without it, we have nothing for ourselves.1
It is a right that is not only protected by civil law internationally but also under canon law. Privacy laws are subject to much reform worldwide now as the law tries to catch up with advancements in technology. The Catholic Church long engaged in the development and protection of human rights, must now proactively address, and match these civil law reforms for the protection of Christ’s faithful which this paper seeks to discuss.
