比例原则在雇员个人信息保护中的构造及适用

The Structure and Application of the Principle of Proportionality in the Protection of Employees'Personal Information

比例原则在雇员个人信息保护中具有独特价值,可为劳雇双方利益衡量提供程序与标准,矫正雇员个人信息保护失衡状态。在构造上,四项分析要素为雇员个人信息权益所受损害、雇主手段成本、雇主经济利益与社会公共利益;审查程序为包含目的正当性、适当性、必要性与均衡性的四阶审查程序;目的正当性程序采用形式而非实质审查标准,适当性程序采用主客观结合的审查标准,必要性和均衡性程序采用客观化审查标准。在适用上,建议借助比例原则检讨《个人信息保护法》第13条第1款第2项“人力资源管理所必需”之合法性基础,并在职场监控等案件中强化劳雇双方利益衡量。

The principle of proportionality has a unique value in the protection of employees' personal information, providing procedures and standards for balancing the interests of both employees and employers, and correcting the imbalance in the protection of employees' personal information. In terms of structure, the four elements of analysis are the damage to the employees' personal information benefits, the cost of employers' means, the economic interests of employers, and the social and public interests;the review process is a four stage review process that includes the legitimate purpose, appropriateness, necessity, and proportionality in the narrower sense;legitimate purpose uses formal rather than substantive review criteria, appropriateness uses subjective and objective review criteria, and necessity and proportionality in the narrower sense use objective review criteria. In terms of application, it is recommended that the principle of proportionality be used to review the legal basis of Article 13, paragraph 1, subparagraph 2, of the Personal Information Protection Law, which is “necessary for human resources management”, and to strengthen the balance between the interests of both employees and employers in workplace monitoring and other cases.
