论个人生物识别信息的民事司法保护

Civil Judicial Protection of Personal Biometric Information

个人生物识别信息是个人标识,可发挥“身份证件”的作用。它往往关联某种利益,因而可能被盗取和非法利用而成为侵犯信息权人法益的利器,但我国法律对其规范有限且宽泛。实际生活中,个人生物识别信息被侵犯的现象十分普遍,而在司法保护中则存在重刑轻民的现象,民事司法保护困难重重。因此,为保护个人生物识别信息不受侵害,就必须完善相关法律制度为其民事司法保护提供有力依据,并配套其他保护措施。

Personal biometric information is the identification of the identity of individuals,which plays the role of“identity documents”.It is often related to certain interests,and may be stolen,abused and become a weapon against the rights of others.However,our laws are limited to their norms and principles.In actual life,it is common that the personal biometrics being violated,while in judicial protection,people tend to take up criminal judicial weapons rather than civil ones,which is to say,it is hard to protect personal biometrics through the civil judicial ways.Therefore,to protect personal biometric information from illegal infringement,it is necessary to improve the relevant legal system to provide a strong basis for civil judicial protection,and other supporting measures.
