Research on the Legal Issues of Personal Information Protection Under the Background of Normal Epidemic Prevention

Abstract

Facial recognition technology, known as "body code", is the latest application of biometric recognition. In the process of epidemic prevention and control, China's digital anti epidemic effect is remarkable. Scientific and technological means represented by face recognition technology can effectively save labor costs and improve the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control. However, as its application becomes more and more widespread, the risk of putting the public in the "dilemma" between public interest protection and personal information protection still cannot be underestimated. Face recognition technology has four major dilemmas: cognitive risk, imbalance risk, subject risk and damage risk. In this regard, the next step should be to fully grasp the application scenarios and take the "transition period" of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control. Refine the measurement standard of subject responsibility, clarify the legal boundary between data utilization and personal information protection; Standardize the collection of personal information, establish a security responsibility system throughout the whole process of face recognition application, and avoid the abuse of personal information by taking advantage of epidemic prevention and control.
