Complaining about the disclosure of personal information

Legal analysis: After the disclosure of personal information, citizens can defend their rights in the following three ways: According to the regulations of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), individuals who have been infringed by information disclosure 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 through legal means according to the Civil Code and the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, such as asking the infringer to apologize, eliminate the influence, restore reputation and compensate for losses.
