Can I call the police if my personal information is leaked?

Personal information disclosure can be reported to the police, but if it is only personal information disclosure, but it has not caused adverse consequences, the general public security organs will not file a case. Only when the leak has caused some adverse consequences and there is conclusive evidence to warn the police, the public security organ will file a case.

Now the information leakage is very serious, and it is impossible to prevent it. If you investigate everything, you may not have so much energy and time. Therefore, you can choose to ignore irrelevant information that does not involve your own interests.

According to Article 19 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Resident Identity Cards (latest revision):

If the staff of state organs or financial, telecommunications, transportation, education, medical and other units disclose the personal information of citizens recorded in resident ID cards obtained in the course of performing their duties or providing services, which constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law; If the case does not constitute a crime, it shall be detained by the public security organ from 10 to 15 and fined 5000 yuan. If there are illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated.

If a unit commits the acts mentioned in the preceding paragraph, which constitutes a crime, it shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law; If it does not constitute a crime, the public security organ shall detain the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel for more than 10 and less than 15, and impose a fine of more than100000 yuan and less than 500000 yuan. If there are illegal gains, the illegal gains shall be confiscated.

Whoever commits the acts mentioned in the preceding two paragraphs and causes damage to others shall bear civil liability according to law.
