PROTECTION OF LABORERS’PERSONAL INFORMATION IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY ERA

数字经济时代劳动者个人行为信息保护

The introduction of new technologies has created conditions for employers to implement large-scale monitoring.The monitoring of laborers and the collection of personal behavior information have broken through the boundaries of time and space and sneaked into the private space.The rights and freedoms of laborers have been violated.However,the traditional‘informed consent’protection framework is difficult to work in labor relations,and the autonomy of laborers is further restricted under the discipline of algorithms.Under the background that the protection of personal information has become a general consensus of the whole society,it is necessary to protect laborers,respect laborers’right to know,follow the principles of transparency,purpose limitation and proportionality to process laborers’personal behavior information,and at the same time strengthen the regulation of algorithms,and improve algorithmic supervision and governance systems,in order to find a balance between laborers’information security and economic development.

新技术的引入为雇佣者实施大规模监控创造了条件,对劳动者的监控和个人行为信息的收集突破了时空的界限、潜入了私人领域,劳动者的权利和自由遭遇侵犯,然而,传统"知情同意"保护框架在劳动关系中难以奏效,在算法的规训下劳动者自主权遭到进一步限缩。在保护个人信息已成为全社会普遍共识的背景下,有必要倾斜保护劳动者,尊重劳动者知情权,遵循透明度原则、目的限制原则和比例原则处理劳动者的个人行为信息,同时加强对算法的规制,完善算法监管和治理体系,以期找到劳动者信息安全与经济发展之间的平衡点。
