After the disclosure of personal information, citizens can defend their rights in the following three ways:
1. According to the Decision on Strengthening the Protection of Network Information, individuals who encounter information leakage have the right to immediately ask network service providers to delete relevant information or take other necessary measures to stop it.
2. Individuals can also make complaints and reports to public security departments, Internet management departments, industrial and commercial departments, consumer associations, industry management departments and relevant institutions.
3. Consumers can further safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through legal means according to the Civil Code and the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests, such as asking the infringer to apologize, eliminate the influence, restore reputation and compensate for losses.
Ways to protect the right of personal information disclosure;
According to the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)'s decision on strengthening network information protection, individuals who encounter information leakage have the right to immediately ask network service providers to delete relevant information or take other necessary measures to stop it.
Individuals can also make complaints and reports to public security departments, internet management departments, industrial and commercial departments, consumer associations, industry management departments and related institutions.
Consumers can also further safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to the Tort Liability Law and the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests, such as asking infringers to apologize, eliminate the influence, restore their reputation and compensate for losses.
There are many ways to report, the ultimate goal of which is to protect one's own interests with the help of the coercive power of public power and punish those who do not constitute a crime but violate the law. In the case of information leakage, only relevant evidence can be collected to report, so as to quickly and effectively confirm the contents of the report, which is conducive to the public authorities to quickly find criminals after reporting.
How does the law stipulate the number of convictions for revealing personal information?
On the 9th, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Infringement on Citizens' Personal Information, which is also the first time that the "two high schools" issued a judicial interpretation on cracking down on crimes against citizens' personal information. Judicial interpretation comprehensively and systematically stipulates the conviction and sentencing standards of crimes against citizens' personal information and the application of relevant laws.
According to the provisions of China's criminal law, anyone who sells or provides personal information of citizens to others in violation of relevant state regulations, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or only be fined; If the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined. Whoever steals or illegally obtains citizens' personal information by other means shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
