If citizens' personal information is leaked, they can protect their rights and interests in three ways:
The first way is that in China's decision on strengthening the protection of network information, it is pointed out that individuals whose information has been leaked have the right to ask network service providers to delete their private information, or they can take some necessary measures to stop it.
The second method is that the leaked information can be reported to the relevant law enforcement departments. Generally, the departments that can report are public security departments, consumer associations, departments that manage the Internet, and so on. Parties can submit their own reporting information through these departments.
The third method is that the parties can also protect their related rights and interests through legal means. China's Civil Code (202 1 to 1 implementation) and the Law on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests have made specific provisions on citizens' legitimate rights and interests, and the parties can use these laws to demand the infringer to apologize to himself or compensate for economic losses.
