Protection of Personal Information in the Era of Big Data

Abstract

In recent years, cloud computing and big data technologies have been widely used in China in the fields of public security, medical and health care, intelligent transportation, telecommunications and education, etc. The quality of life of the people has been improved and the digital industry has gained tremendous development, but at the same time, a series of personal information infringement disputes have arisen and the protection of personal information has attracted much attention. At present, insufficient protection of personal information under public law, the shortcomings of traditional informed consent rules, imperfect regulatory mechanism for personal information, and weak awareness of personal information protection have become major obstacles to balance the protection and utilization of personal information. Accordingly, it is necessary to adhere to the personal information protection path that combines public law protection and private law protection, to apply informed consent in the handling of personal information, and to improve the comprehensive supervision mechanism that unifies administrative supervision, industry association supervision, corporate internal supervision, and public opinion supervision, and on this basis, to improve the personal information infringement remedy mechanism that combines judicial remedy and private remedy.
