Privacy protection has been a concern. With the development of internet technology, the invasion of privacy has been increasing. The international community attaches great importance to protection of online privacy, countries take all protective measures to internet privacy. This paper studies internet privacy and protecting mode in three parts with inherently logical links.The first part defines the network privacy and invasion of internet privacy. The network privacy means citizens have the right that their activities in the network field should not be disturbed, their private information is protected by law and they deal with their own private information personally. There is a variety of forms of online privacy infringement, such as illegal collection, dissemination and use the network user information, the illegal monitoring of private network activity and invading other people’s networking. These violations have a very big impact on the user’s private life, so the fault perpetrator who committed acts of infringement must bear some legal responsibility.The second part comparatively analyzes their respective pros and cons on the basis of studying three modes of typical significance in the international network privacy protection. Legal regulation, industry self-regulation, the safe harbor are three major modes of internet privacy protection. Legal regulation originated from EU countries is the adoption of national legislation to protect internet privacy, which has a higher authority and coercive power and universality of the law to make online privacy protection more effective. Industry self-regulation from the United States advocates freedom, the basic premise of which is to promote the development of the network industry and the main way of which is industry self-regulation, regulating the industry itself in order to achieve the purpose of protecting the privacy of citizens’network. Safe Harbor model is developed on the basis of legal regulation and industry self-regulation, which combines advantages of the force of the law and the flexibility of self-discipline and is a more comprehensive and effective protection mode. Safe Harbor model originated in the United States, and later became the agreement The United States and the EU countries to coordinate e-commerce privacy issues.The third part explores what mode our network privacy ought to be under the premise of a review of the conservation status of China’s internet privacy. Our current Internet privacy protection is still in its infancy. Network privacy legislation is relatively less and dispersed and there is no formation system. This is one of the reasons why our legal regulation model develops slowly. Industry self-regulation requires that industry must have a high degree of self-discipline. But now, in China’s network industry, the level of awareness of internet privacy has not yet reached a certain height. It is difficult to form a unified self-discipline norms. In response to these national conditions, combined with international operation of the three typical network privacy protected-mode, our country should be based on legal regulation mode and take industry self-regulation model as the auxiliary mode to complete the protection of the Privacy Act on the network.
