个人信息保护立法中的基础问题探讨

On the Basic Problems of the Legislation of Personal Information Protection

中国的个人信息保护立法应当明确以下基础问题:在对个人信息进行界定时,应当从个人信息主体与信息控制者的相对关系出发;个人信息权益是一种受法律保护的利益而非绝对性权利,其通过立法对信息控制者的行为规制而受到保护;中国未来的个人信息保护法的规制对象包括两类,即公法人和经营者,在进行规则设计时应当注意公法规范与私法规范的相互衔接。

Chinese future legislation should clarify the following basic problems:first,the definition of personal information should be based on the relative relationship between the personal information subject and the information controller;second,the nature of the individual’s right to the personal information is a kind of interests protected by law instead of the kind of absolute rights;third,the future legislation of personal information protection should focus on the regulation of public bodies and the enterprise.The future legislation should facilitate the coordination between the public legal rues and private legal rules.
