Abstract: | In the age of big data, personal information becomes increasingly important. As the third pillar of personal information protection, the construction of the vertical regulation system is as important as the establishment of horizontal rights and obligations. However, due to the lack of top level design and the limitation of decentralized legislation, the present personal information protection regulation in China has many problems, such as weakened objectives, scattered subjects, weak measures and fuzzy procedures, which seriously hamper the improvement of the level of personal information protection. Therefore, facing the legal challenges posed by emerging technologies and the demand for a complex balance of interests, the future legislation should clarify the main regulatory objectives, establish a unified and independent regulatory organization, upgrade its professional and administrative level, specify regulatory measures, and coordinate the relationship between different protection laws and procedures. |
