平行還是交叉──個人資訊保護與隱私權的關係

《民法總則》制定之前，我國法律對於個人資訊保護與隱私權關係的處理有兩個基本特點，一是平行適用、互不交叉，二是梯度遞進，給予個人資訊更高程度的保護。人格權編將隱私權與個人資訊保護並列到一起，引入交叉適用的模式，引發不少問題，包括重置個人資訊保護與隱私權的關係，將隱私權保護邏輯套用到個人資訊保護等。堅持平行適用，立足於整體制度設計，處理好《個人資訊保護法》與《民法典》的關係，使不同機制分別發揮各自作用，有利於形成公私法合力的多元治理結構。

Prior to the promulgation of the General Principles of Civil Law, there were two basic characteristics in connection with law to handle the relationship between personal information protection and right to privacy in China. One was parallel application without overlap, and the other one was incremental progress, giving higher degree of protection to personal information. The Part on the Right of Personality of the Civil Code combines personal information protection and right to privacy together by providing crisscrossing application, and creates quite a few problems, including reconstructing the relationship between personal information protection and right to privacy and applying mechanically the logic of privacy protection to personal information protection. It is helpful to formulate a polycentric governance structure of public-private law coordination and enable different mechanisms to play their respective roles, by sticking to parallel application, systematic institutional design, and better handling of the relationship between the Personal Information Protection Law and the Civil Code.
