我国个人信息法律保护的权利基础研究

Study on the Right Basis of Legal Protection of Personal Information in China

个人信息法律保护的权利基础可追溯到美国的隐私权和德国的信息自决权。我国《民法总则》第111条明确保护自然人的个人信息权。在民法上,个人信息权属于具体人格权的一种。在大数据时代,个人信息权应作为公民的一项基本权利,属于宪法层次的人格权。将个人信息权既作为一项私权利,又确定为宪法权利,有助于对其提供充分的法律保护。

The right basis of legal protection of personal information can be traced back to the right to privacy in the United States and the right to information autonomy in Germany.Protection of a natural person’s right to personal information is clearly stated in article 111 of the General Provisions of the Civil Law,according to which the right to personal information is one of the personality rights.In the era of big data,the right to personal information should be regarded as a citizen’s basic right,a right to personality at the constitution level.Regarding the right to personal information as both a privacy right and a constitutional right can help provide adequate legal protection of it.
