When did the Personal Information Protection Law come into being? In today's era, people will inevitably keep personal information in various operators and organizations in their daily consumption activities and other social activities. When did the Personal Information Protection Law come into being?

When was the Personal Information Protection Law promulgated 1 People's Republic of China (PRC) Personal Information Protection Law came into effect on 202 1, 1,1. The law is clear, prohibiting excessive collection of personal information and killing big data, standardizing the handling of sensitive personal information such as face information, and improving the working mechanism of personal information protection complaints and reports, which fully responds to social concerns and provides a strong legal guarantee for cracking the hot and difficult issues of personal information protection. (According to Economic Information Daily 1 1 October)

On the last day of the "Double Eleven" in full swing, the long-awaited "Personal Information Protection Law" was officially implemented, which undoubtedly added some confidence to everyone's "safe hands-on". Maybe couriers won't reveal personal information so easily, maybe marketing messages won't be so rampant, and maybe there will be fewer routines of "different people have different prices" ... After all, it feels completely different to have legal escort and no legal escort. In any case, with the law, there are clearer boundaries, more solid guarantees and more firm confidence.

As of June, 20021year, the total number of netizens in China exceeded 654.38 billion, and the number of websites and apps exceeded 4.22 million and 3.02 million respectively. This figure is undoubtedly huge and amazing. The Internet has brought unimaginable convenience to everyone and immeasurable risks. In particular, the invasion of personal privacy by information and data technology has now reached a pervasive level. Photo album file scanning, big data randomly watching people's dishes, house monitoring ... Everyone is transparent in front of technology, as if they are collectively performing a live-action version of The Truman Show. No one will feel good about this feeling of being spied, analyzed and treated as data.

Technology is to serve life and make life better, not to trample personal rights and interests for development. This is an indisputable social common sense. Therefore, under the calculation of bad businesses and the collapse of big data, we are very weak, and we are all looking forward to the protection and regulation of laws, so that technology can suppress evil and promote good.

Previously, the legal provisions on personal protection were scattered and unsystematic, so it was difficult for ordinary people to fully understand them, and it was relatively difficult to prevent and protect their rights. The explicit provisions on the protection of personal information in the Civil Code paved the way for this. Now that the Personal Information Protection Law is officially implemented, it shows that the state attaches great importance to the protection of personal information and strengthens it in all directions.

Of course, there is a difference between having laws and not having laws. The particularity of special law for the protection of personal information is self-evident. This law is really targeted. Sword refers to all kinds of chaos that are currently rampant and highly concerned by the public, such as App "compulsory consent" to claim rights from users, illegal transactions, providing or revealing other people's personal information, big data killing, excessive collection of personal information, and forced face recognition in public places.

More importantly, the law clarifies the regulatory responsibility of the regulatory authorities, so that everything is really in charge. Moreover, for some illegal and infringing acts involving the interests of the broad masses of the people, it is also proposed to solve the problem of insufficient motivation of individual litigation through public interest litigation. All kinds of measures are to put the "informed consent of users" and "inviolability of personal privacy" on the public screen, engraved in the genes, which is not only the guardian of the legitimate rights and interests of users, but also conducive to the development of the digital economy towards a safe, standardized and high-quality road.

If the law is a solid fortress for just protecting everyone's legitimate rights and interests, each of us should also contribute to it and make it more majestic and powerful. With the high penetration of information technology into life, the implementation of the personal information protection law requires everyone to study, understand and apply the law together, so as to implement every detail of life and produce practical results.

While using science and technology to enjoy life, we should improve the vigilance and sensitivity of personal information security protection, and bravely use legal weapons to protect ourselves when legitimate rights and interests are violated. In order to build a perfect information protection system, everyone can surf the Internet safely and with dignity, and contribute to it. Only in this way can the current situation of personal information protection be fundamentally improved, and the difference between law and law is clear at a glance.

When did the Personal Information Protection Law come into effect? On February11.1year 10, the Personal Information Protection Law was formally implemented. It is a special law to protect citizens' personal information. This law, together with civil code, network security law, data security law, e-commerce law, consumer rights protection law and other laws, weaves a "protection network" of consumers' personal information.

At present, people will inevitably keep personal information in various operators and organizations in their daily consumption activities and other social activities. Due to the weak sense of responsibility to protect personal information, insufficient protection measures, and some operators are driven by interests, the incidents of illegal collection and disclosure of personal information are shocking.

In recent years, the outstanding personal information problems reflected by consumers mainly focus on the excessive claims of mobile app, the disclosure of consumers' personal information, the illegal push of business information, the killing of big data, and the illegal handling of personal sensitive information.

For example, from 2065438 to February 2009, a facial recognition company suffered a large-scale data leakage, including 6.8 million pieces of personal information such as personal name, ID number, gender, home address and photos. In May 2020, police in Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province cracked a case of infringing citizens' personal information. A bank employee sells the identity information, telephone number, balance and even transaction records of bank card users for profit at a price of ~ 100 yuan each, involving more than 50,000 pieces of personal information.

After the implementation of the Personal Information Protection Law, the above problems are expected to be further curbed. The law is clear, prohibiting excessive collection of personal information, big data killing, and abuse of face recognition technology. , and increased penalties for infringement of personal information.

To this end, the China Consumers Association recently urged operators to earnestly implement the relevant provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law, study the law in depth, respect and abide by the law, improve the rules for handling personal information according to law, and take necessary measures to ensure the safety of consumers' personal information.

Specifically, after the implementation of the personal information protection law, operators should do the following: to collect consumers' personal information, they should ensure that consumers are informed and obtain their consent on the premise of fully informing them in advance; Without the consent of consumers, commercial information shall not be pushed to consumers; The collection and use of personal information should have a clear and reasonable purpose, and be limited to the way that has the least impact on personal rights and interests and the minimum scope to achieve the purpose of processing, and consumers' personal information should not be excessively collected; Strictly limit the handling of personal sensitive information, and communities and business premises cannot force owners or consumers to carry out face recognition; It is legal to use personal information for automated decision-making to prevent big data from killing people; Large-scale Internet platforms should also pay attention to fulfilling special obligations and be a "gatekeeper" for the protection of personal information.

At the same time, consumers should actively study the Personal Information Protection Law and other laws to form a good habit of "not providing personal information unless necessary". When personal information rights and interests are infringed or operators are found to have illegally handled consumers' personal information, they should take the initiative to complain and report to the personal information protection management department or consumers' association, provide case clues and relevant vouchers, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
