Civil Law Protection Of Personal Information From The Perspective Of Balance Of Interests

In the era of information and data,personal information is a valuable resource for business and public management.While the society benefits greatly from information flow,personal information is being used out of control,which leads to the significance and urgency of personal information protection.Based on the integrative analysis of current laws and regulations relating to personal information protection,the thesis reveals the imperfection in civil law and legal system for such protection.Meanwhile,the cases concerning personal information protection were collected from real judicial ones for systematic concrete categorization and conclusion.By this way,it was found that current civil law is characterized by protection of dignity and privacy for further personal information protection.But the problem is such protection is not effective and strong enough.Emphasis should be put on comprehensive protection in civil law for personal informationIn the era of Big Data,Information and Internet.With the background of dignity protection,the thesis is based on the research about typical patterns,modes and systems of personal information protection in foreign countries,and integrates the problems in legislation and judicial practices to obtain following conclusions from the aspect of balance of interests.It shows that apart from the establishment of laws and regulations concerning personal information right,the country should take its nature of personal property into consideration,put forward rules for differential protection,and reasonably impose restrictions on right while fully providing personal information protection.Consequently,a balance of interests can be stricken between information freedom and protection,so that personal information protection will be not only a legal right,but also instructive for judicial practices.
