私密信息的界定——从隐私权的内核与外延展开

Demarcation of Private Information——From the Core and Extension of Privacy

私密信息的认定系司法实践亟待解决的问题,《民法典》也致力于划分楚河汉界,以期区别信息类型,分而治之。而区分之关键系明确私密信息的多重属性,即以“私密”概念明确隐私内核,利用隐私合理期待理论,结合信息流通性、财产性确定私密信息的外延边界,并在个案判断中通过判断社会成本收益,保证信息区分的公平和准确。

The identification of private information is an urgent problem to be solved in judicial practice.“The Civil Code” is also committed to dividing the boundaries of Chu River and Han Dynasty in order to distinguish the types of information and divide and rule it.The key to distinguish is to clarify the multiple attributes of private information,that is,clarify the privacy core with the concept of “privacy”,use the theory of reasonable expectation of privacy,determine the extension boundary of private information in combination with information circulation and property,and ensure the fairness and accuracy of information differentiation by judging social costs and benefits in case judgment.
