个人信息权益损害赔偿过错推定责任的适用

Application of Presumption of Fault Liability for Compensation of Personal Information Rights and Interests Damage

《个人信息保护法》与《民法典》在归责原则方面的适用争议并不在于两部法律的体系衔接当中,而是由个人信息和隐私二分保护模式引发的私密信息的损害赔偿归责原则适用难题。根据隐私与个人信息的实质差异分析,信息处理者如果对私密信息造成损害,应当承担过错推定责任,而非一般过错责任。

The dispute over the application of the liability principle between the Personal Information Protection Law and the Civil Code does not lie in the convergence of the two laws, but in the application of the liability principle for damages of private information caused by the dual protection mode of personal information and privacy. According to the analysis of the substantial difference between privacy and personal information, if the information processor causes damage to private information, it should bear the presumption of fault liability rather than the general fault liability.
