Research On Legal Protection Of Personal Information In Epidemic Information Disclosure

Personal information of novel coronavirus pneumonia patients and close contacts are essential to the epidemic prevention and control.The government's disclosure of personal information can stabilize citizens' emotions and obtain citizens' support and cooperation.At the same time,it will also help to control the source of infection,block the route of transmission and control the epidemic spreading range,so as to orderly and smoothly promote the work of epidemic prevention and control and enhance the credibility of the government.Therefore,it is very necessary and important for the government to disclose personal information during the epidemic prevention and control period.In order to safeguard the public interest,certain restrictions can be imposed on citizens' personal interests,but this restriction cannot be unrestrained.We should find a reasonable balance between the disclosure of epidemic information and the protection of personal information,Therefore,it is necessary to legally regulate the improper government information disclosure that the government infringes on citizens' personal information rights and interests in practice,so as to effectively protect citizens' personal information rights and interests and promote the work of government information disclosure in a more orderly and good way.Whether the government's information disclosure behavior adheres to the relevant criteria and procedures is also an important embodiment of the government's governance ability.The higher the governance level,the stronger the natural ability to control the epidemic;Secondly,the protection of citizens' personal information also helps to promote the government to carry out government information disclosure in a more orderly manner;Third,strengthening the protection of citizens' personal information can deter the government from exercising its power,so as to prevent public power organs from abusing administrative power;Finally,protecting citizens' personal information is to protect citizens' legitimate rights and interests.This refers not only to the rights and interests of personal information,but also to freedom of expression and the right to learn the truth.Epidemic prevention and control requires the joint efforts of the government,citizens and other subjects.If the administrative organ completely hinders the public from exercising the right of free expression on the ground of safeguarding the public interest,it will crack down on the enthusiasm of the public to participate in the epidemic prevention and control work and squeeze the space for communication between the government and the masses.In practice,some governments violate laws and regulations,wantonly expand the scope of disclosure of personal information and infringe on citizens' personal information rights and interests.In addition,the inadequate supervision of relevant institutions and the development of network information further worsen the results,leading to the frequent occurrence of network violence,which seriously endangers citizens' personal rights.Therefore,when disclosing personal information,information processors must strictly fulfill the relevant principles and obligations of personal information protection,distinguish and identify personal information,and implement the risk assessment mechanism;We should also improve the legal supervision mechanism,strengthen supervision,set up special information supervision institutions,give scope to the supervision role of the National People's Congress and the public,and improve the quality of staff and safety supervision technology;Finally,we need to improve the legal relief system.We can further strengthen the protection of personal information by improving the litigation suspension disclosure system and administrative compensation system.
