How to protect rights after personal information is leaked?
Ways to protect rights after personal information is leaked;
1, collect evidence clues. After the information is leaked, it is easy to receive all kinds of emails and phone calls from all over the world. At this time, you should pay attention and write down useful information such as the phone number or email address of the other party. Perhaps this information is trivial, but once collected, it can not only help you defend your rights, but also help more people.
2. Report the case to the relevant departments. Once personal information is leaked, you can complain to the public security department, Internet management department, industry and commerce department, consumer association, industry management department and relevant institutions. The purpose of reporting a case is to protect one's own rights and interests, and the other is to file a case. Once more people encounter similar situations to yours, they can deal with them together. According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, if the circumstances of selling or providing personal information of citizens to others or illegally obtaining personal information of citizens are serious, it may be suspected of a criminal offence, and the public security organ may intervene in the investigation.
3. Remind friends and relatives around you to prevent being cheated. After personal information is leaked, you can not only use this information to steal your account, but also deceive your relatives and friends. So once your information is leaked or your contact tool account number is lost, you must inform your relatives and friends at the first time and ask them to take extra precautions to avoid being deceived.
4. Entrust a lawyer to defend rights. If important personal information is lost and you know how to lose it or have many clues, you can consult relevant laws and regulations with professional lawyers. If the lawyer gives a positive answer, he can defend it with legal weapons.
