On May 26, 2010, the Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Law was amended and promulgated with a total of 56 articles, all of which came into effect on October 1, 2012(except for Article 6 and 54). The main purpose of revising these articles is to expand the scope of protection for objects, generally applied to subjects, add special personal information, notify the obligation, requirement, civil and criminal liability, administrative penalties and introduce Class action suit, etc. Otherwise, the parties can refuse marketing. All we mentioned above is to conform the tendency to international legislation. In today’s increasingly information-developed society, all people should have the need to exchange and share personal information. While enjoying the benefits of freedom of information, people should be careful not to infringe on the privacy rights of others and should recognize the use and restriction of information. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate the restrictions and extent of the use of Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Law.
Firstly, we inquiry legislative situation and law enforcement in Japan, South Africa, the United State, Malaysia, Korea, the European Union, Austria, and other countries and then explore the objects (personal data) and scope of protection. We also analyze the types of personal data and the relationship between personal data protection and relevant laws in our country. Otherwise, we explore the information privacy policy and information self-determination. In addition, how to avoid infringing on the personal rights of personal data owners when data managers collect, process and use personal data, so as to promote the reasonable use of personal data. Finally, rules of the Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Law from other countries and specifications for assuring the privacy of personal data can be used as the references when legislating in our country.
In chapter 5, the author summarizes the conclusions and make recommendations in the hope that this article will improve readers’ awareness of self-protection of personal data rights and interests, so as to respect the personal data privacy and independent rights of others, as well as to provide suggestions on the advantages of the Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Law of other countries in terms of their own personal data legal systems and practices, so as to apply and restrict the Computer-Processed Personal Data Protection Law in their own countries, and to be able to properly use the personal data of others in their lives or work. |
