中国个人信息删除权的探究

Abstract

In the era of Internet-based big data, people enjoy a more convenient life than ever before. A smartphone takes over the world, and people use various payment platforms to complete various transactions. In the network platform ”shopping malls” shopping, entertainment, office...... While people enjoy these conveniences, they also leave traces everywhere. People's own privacy and personal information is memorized by the Internet. This is the security problem brought by the era of big data.Criminals may use the information left over from the Internet for telecom fraud or resale, and even people's privacy will be snooped on. Moreover, the browsing history or message left on the Internet may become the ”basis” for others to evaluate themselves. Although some comments or left information were accurate at that time, people's thoughts will also change with the change of times, so the left information on the network may have a negative evaluation and differential impact on people today. The basic idea to solve this problem is to better manage and control the storage, transmission and deletion of personal information, so as to better protect personal information. China adopted the ”Personal Information Protection Law” in August 2021, which came into effect on November 1. Article 47 of this law provides more detailed provisions on the ”right to delete”. However, as to whether the new law can be implemented smoothly, this paper, through the study of the basic overview of the right to delete system, makes clear the necessity of establishing the right to delete, and also analyzes the realistic obstacles in the implementation of the right to delete, and gives the improvement plan. On this basis, it gives a detailed explanation of the name dispute and definition of ”right to be forgotten” and ”right to delete”, and provides a strong support for the name and definition of ”right to delete”. At the same time, it believes that China's ”Personal Information Protection Law”, ”network Security Law”, ”Civil Code” and other laws are enough to protect individuals under the premise of legitimate interests. It is not adversely affected by the Internet or negative information, so there is no need to stipulate the right to be forgotten separately.
