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 may 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 way is that the parties can also protect their related rights and interests through legal means. China's "Civil Code" and "Consumer Protection Law" have made specific provisions on the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. The parties can use these laws to demand the infringer to apologize to himself or compensate for economic losses. Article 999 of the Civil Code states that news reports and public opinion supervision are conducted for the public interest, and names, names, portraits and personal information of civil subjects can be used reasonably; If unreasonable use infringes on the personality rights of civil subjects, they shall bear civil liability according to law. After knowing that your personal information has been leaked, you still need to take some remedial measures to deal with things better. (1) We should collect relevant evidence and clues. After personal information is leaked, we should collect some strange phone calls and emails, and the collected information is conducive to our rights protection. After giving the evidence to law enforcement, you can not only help yourself, but also help others. (2) If the disclosure of personal information has caused serious consequences, we can choose to report it to law enforcement departments. Stealing other people's personal information and selling it or other illegal acts, if the circumstances are serious, will constitute a criminal offence, and then the public security organs must investigate. Therefore, when our personal information is leaked, we have to protect our legitimate rights and interests through relevant law enforcement departments. Another advantage of reporting a case is to file it with law enforcement agencies to prevent more similar situations from happening. (3) Remind relatives and friends after personal information is leaked to prevent being cheated. (4) The parties can go to a lawyer to defend their rights. If your important personal information is leaked, and you know the relevant clues, the parties can consult professional lawyers to safeguard their rights and interests through legal means. Another important aspect is that we need to know how to prevent the disclosure of our personal information. The disclosure of personal information may be caused by many reasons. Citizens should enhance their awareness of rights protection and prevent personal information from being stolen. (1) Choose a reliable platform. With the advent of the e-commerce era, the words "marketing" and "users" have been paid more and more attention, the competition has become more and more fierce, and new platforms have been born. I believe that everyone must have encountered the situation that the new platform engages in preferential activities to attract users. It is a very common marketing method. When we choose, we'd better know about it first, even if it's just to search the qualifications of the platform online. (2) Don't trust foreign information, and don't voluntarily disclose personal information. I have often seen some special forms of fraud recently. The other party has some information about you in order to get more information from you, such as strange phone calls and verification codes. , or through some online instant chat tools, through some means, even intimidation, directly or indirectly obtain your personal information. (3) Carefully participate in online surveys and lottery activities. On the internet, you will often encounter various activities such as questionnaire survey, shopping lottery or applying for free trial. These activities generally require netizens to fill in personal information such as detailed contact information and home address. Before participating in such activities, you should choose a website with reliable reputation, and don't rashly fill in personal information, which will lead to information leakage. Citizen's personal information refers to all kinds of information recorded by electronic or other means that can identify the identity of a specific natural person or reflect the activities of a specific natural person alone or in combination with other information; Including name, ID number, contact information, address, account password, property status, whereabouts, etc. Collect evidence clues, report the case to relevant departments, remind relatives and friends around them to prevent being cheated, and entrust lawyers to protect their rights. Article 12 of the Regulations on the Administration of Internet Bulletin Board Services stipulates that bulletin board service providers shall keep the personal information of Internet users confidential and shall not disclose it to others without the consent of Internet users, except as otherwise provided by law.
Legal objectivity:
Article 14 of the Network Security Law of the People's Republic of China * * * Any individual or organization has the right to report acts endangering network security to the departments of network information, telecommunications and public security. The department that receives the report shall promptly handle it according to law; If it does not belong to the responsibilities of this department, it shall be transferred to the department that has the right to handle it in time. The relevant departments shall keep confidential the relevant information of informants and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
