个人信息使用的合法性基础——数据上利益分析视角

The Legal Basis of Processing of Personal Information:A Perspective of Interests Related to Personal Information

根据我国现行个人信息相关立法,知情同意是个人信息收集和使用的普遍前提。通过对个人信息需要保护的利益分析,我们发现,个人信息上不仅附着了信息主体的人格尊严和自由利益,个人信息使用者的利益和公共利益也是个人信息法律制度需要保护的重要利益。基于此,本文认为,知情同意不是且不应成为个人信息处理的唯一合法性基础,在个人信息保护法制定中应首先明确个人信息上的利益,然后根据个人信息上的利益之间的平衡建构个人信息的使用规则,建立多元的合法性基础。

According to the legislation on personal information in China,informed consent is a common premise for the collection and use of personal information.Through the analysis of the interests of personal information protection,we find that personal information not only attaches the interests of the information subject,such as personal dignity and freedom.The interests of users of personal information and the public interest are also important interests that the personal information legal system needs to protect.Therefore,this paper believes that informed consent is not and should not be the sole legal basis for the processing of personal information.In the formulation of personal information protection law,we should first clarify the interests of personal information,and establish the rules based on the balance of the interests of personal information.
