《个人信息保护法》规定的本土被遗忘权及其保护

The Right to Be Forgotten in China and Its Protection under the Personal Information Protection Law

《个人信息保护法》是否规定了被遗忘权,有不同看法。其实《个人信息保护法》第四十七条第一款第一项规定的删除权,就规定了本土化的被遗忘权。依照其规定,被遗忘权是指自然人在个人信息处理中,对处理目的已经实现、无法实现或者不再必要的个人信息,未被个人信息处理者主动删除的,所享有的请求删除个人信息的权利。被遗忘权的法律属性,是人格权请求权。对于拒不履行删除义务造成个人信息权损害的,应当适用侵权损害赔偿请求权予以保护。

There are different views on whether the Personal Information Protection law stipulates the right to be forgotten.This article argues that the right to be deleted provided in Item 1,paragraph 1,Article 47 of the Personal Information Protection law is the localized right to be forgotten.According to its provisions,the object of the right to be forgotten is the personal information about natural persons.When the purpose of personal information processing has been achieved,cannot be achieved or is no longer necessary,the personal information processor is obliged to delete the information.If the personal information processor fails to erase the information,the individual has the right to be forgotten to request deletion.The legal attribute of the right to be forgotten is the right to claim personality,as it is one of the ways to protect the personal information right.If the personal information right is damaged by refusing to perform the obligation of deletion,the individual shall be protected by the right to claim for tort damages.
