With the development of the mobile Internet,the way for operators to obtain users’ personal information has become more and more convenient,and the scope of obtaining users’ personal information has become larger and larger,so the problem of personal information security has become more and more serious.How users can protect their own rights and how operators can protect users’ personal information security has become an urgent problem to be solved.In 2021,my country promulgated the "Personal Information Protection Law",focusing on detailed and comprehensive discussions and regulations on the processing of personal information by personal information processors,laying a legal foundation for ensuring the security of users’ personal information.At the same time,the "Personal Information Security Specification for Information Security Technology" specially launched by our country stipulates the normative framework of the privacy policy text,so it can be used to explain the relevant provisions of the "Personal Information Protection Law" in more detail.The degree of legal compliance of mobile Internet APP privacy policies is directly related to whether users’ personal information can be effectively protected.With the implementation of the "Personal Information Protection Law",it is worth paying attention to how the mobile Internet APP implements the laws and regulations specifically aimed at the protection of personal information.After sorting out and analyzing relevant materials and research results,this study found that privacy policy is a tool for most operators to describe user information protection in detail.Therefore,this paper regards the completeness of the privacy policy of mobile Internet APP as an important basis for measuring the effectiveness of its personal information protection work.According to the "Personal Information Protection Law" and other relevant legal norms,this paper has created a relatively rigorous and complete privacy policy evaluation index system.From the Privacy Policy Basic Information;Collection of Personal Information;Storage of Personal Information;Use of Personal Information;Entrusted Processing,Sharing,Transfer,and Public Disclosure of Personal Information;Sensitive Information;Rights of Personal Information Subjects;Obligations of Personal Information Processors These 8 firstlevel indicators and their corresponding 30 second-level indicators are designed to measure questions and build a privacy policy evaluation model.Through the content analysis of 443 mobile Internet APP privacy policy texts in15 categories,this study finds that,compared with previous research results,the current degree of perfection of my country’s mobile Internet APP privacy policies has increased.After the introduction and promulgation of the "Personal Information Protection Law",operators have gradually improved their privacy policies,and the overall privacy policies are well compliant.However,at the same time,there are certain differences in the completeness of the privacy policies of various types of APPs.Among them,the recruitment and rental,maternal and child care,and game APPs have the highest degree of completeness,and the worst degree of completeness is the learning APP.A horizontal comparison of the scores of various APPs in specific dimensions shows that the tested samples have the following problems: first,cross-border transmission is not standardized,and users are not informed;second,the definition of personal information and personal sensitive information is unclear,there is the problem of excessive collection;third,there is a lack of special regulations on the protection of children’s information,ignoring the security of children’s information.The research results reflect that although the overall level of my country’s mobile Internet APP privacy policy has improved slightly,there are still detailed rules that need to be improved.From a personal point of view,the subject of personal information rights should improve the awareness of personal privacy;operators are personal information controllers and personal information processors,and should take the initiative to assume the responsibility of protecting the security of users’ personal information and clarify their own obligations;from the government’s point of view,strengthen industry supervision,so as to achieve the organic combination of multi-stakeholders.
