The disclosure of personal information is endless, but people can't help but ask, is it illegal to disclose personal information? It is easy to cause damage to the parties and serious property losses. Disclosing personal information may be suspected of violating the law and committing crimes. The law also stipulates the disclosure of personal information, and it is illegal to go beyond the scope prescribed by law. The following interested friends can go and have a look with me.
1. Is it illegal to disclose personal information?
According to relevant laws and regulations, it is illegal to disclose other people's ID card information.
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.
Second, the disclosure of personal information mainly has the following ways.
1. Use Internet search engines to search personal information, collect it into a book, and sell it to people who need to buy it at a certain price;
2, hotel accommodation, insurance companies, leasing companies, bank accreditation, telecommunications, mobile, China Unicom, real estate, postal departments and other departments and places that need real-name registration of identity documents, individual personnel use the convenience of registration to disclose customer personal information;
3. Individual illegal typing shops and copying shops use the convenience of copying and typing to archive personal information, bind it into volumes and sell it to the outside world;
4. Stealing other people's personal information in the name of various "questionnaires". They claim that as long as you fill in the detailed contact information, income and credit card information on the "questionnaire" and conduct a simple "tick" survey, you can get prizes of different awards, so as to induce people to fill in personal information;
5. Fill in the name, home address and contact information on the front and back of the lottery, which may lead to the disclosure of personal information;
6. When purchasing electronic products, vehicles and other items, personal information is used by people who fill out informal "after-sales service forms" in existing enterprises;
7, supermarkets, shopping malls through the mail to the masses to apply for free membership card information, through personal leaks.
Three, the use of personal information to engage in five types of illegal and criminal activities.
1, new non-contact crimes such as telecom fraud and online fraud. For example, at the end of 20 12, a large number of telephone fraud cases occurred in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. The criminals used the illegally obtained information of citizens' family members to call the parents of students, falsely claiming that their school children were kidnapped or suddenly ill, and asked for emergency remittance for rescue or medical treatment, thus committing fraud.
2 direct implementation of robbery, extortion and other serious violent criminal activities. For example, at the beginning of 20 12, a vicious case occurred in Guangzhou. Criminals pretended to be couriers according to their personal information and went to the door to rob directly, resulting in one death and two injuries to the householder.
3, the implementation of illegal commercial competition. Under the guise of information consultation and business consultation, criminals use illegally obtained personal information of citizens to buy off customers and suppress competitors.
4. Illegal interference in civil litigation. Criminals use the purchased personal information of citizens to intervene in civil litigation such as marriage disputes, property inheritance and debt disputes. It has caused great trouble to people's normal life.
5. Disturb the people. After obtaining citizens' personal information, criminals harass people's lives through online human flesh search and information exposure. For example, 20 1 1, a case happened in Beijing. Due to a quarrel after breaking up, Yan's ex-boyfriend exposed his private photos on the Internet, which caused great trouble to Yan.
This is illegal. Whether it is illegal depends on whether it is beyond the scope prescribed by law and meets the conditions of crime. With the increase of Internet and other means, more and more people leak information, and the losses are huge. It is urgent to protect personal information, but it also needs personal and legal protection to meet the requirements of protecting personal information.
