个人信息检察民事公益诉讼之展开

Personal Information Procuratorial Civil Public Interest Litigation

《个人信息保护法》的出台,预示着国家和社会公众对个人信息权益的重视,同时由于个人信息的公共利益属性,该法明确规定了人民检察院有权提起个人信息公益诉讼。而作为公益诉讼分支之一的个人信息检察民事公益诉讼虽已有现实构建之必要及可行性,但是由于其起步较晚,不仅患有民事公益诉讼通病,也有因其自身的特殊性而存在的特殊问题,比如因个人信息侵权的隐蔽性和电子信息取证的专业性而形成的调查取证困难问题以及同具有专业素质的国家网信部门的合作调查问题。故而如若要进一步完善个人信息检察民事公益诉讼制度,就必须对上述问题予以阐述和分析。

The introduction of the Personal Information Protection Law indicates that the state and the public attach great importance to the rights and interests of personal information. At the same time, due to the public interest nature of personal information, the law clearly stipulates that the people’s Procuratorate has the right to file a public interest lawsuit on personal information. As one of the branches of public interest litigation, the personal information procuratorial civil public interest litigation has the necessity and feasibility of realistic construction, but due to its late start, it not only suffers from common problems of civil public interest litigation, but also has special problems due to its own particularity. For example, due to the concealment of personal information infringe-ment and the professionalism of electronic information forensics, it is difficult to investigate and collect evidence and cooperate with the national network information department with professional quality. Therefore, if we want to further improve the personal information procuratorial civil public interest litigation system, we must elaborate and analyze the above problems.
