隐私风险是指某人可能会遇到由数据处理引起的问题以及这些问题发生时的影响.

What is the impact of privacy risk? 在过去的几年中,许多新的隐私法律法规生效:欧盟通用数据保护条例(GDPR)于2018年5月25日生效, 日本于2020年6月5日颁布了《澳门赌场官方下载》修正案, 美国修订后的《澳门赌场官方下载》(CCPA)于2020年7月1日生效,巴西的《澳门赌场官方软件》(LGPD)是最新出台的法律.

In China, 全国人民代表大会常务委员会计划于2020年起草并发布个人信息保护法和数据安全法.

这种不断增加的立法趋势促使更多的组织关注管理隐私风险,以赢得消费者的信任并建立声誉.

What Is the Practical Guidance for Chinese Enterprises?

Since the enactment of the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China, 已经发布了一系列国家标准和配套的推荐指南. There are four steps Chinese enterprises should follow:

  1. Step 1: Determine scope of privacy legislations. A chapter has been added to the civil code to address general principles related to the right to privacy and protection of personal information; the long-awaited update to the national standard on personal information protection has been released: Information Security Technology-Personal Information Security Specification GB/T 35273-2020 (short for “the 2020 Specification”). There are also some sector-specific regulations on personal data protection (e.g., 个人金融信息保护技术规范JR/T 0171-2020[《澳门赌场官方软件》的简称], 《澳门赌场官方软件》(以下简称《澳门赌场官方下载》), 金融移动应用软件安全管理规范JR/T 0092-2019, etc.
  2. Step 2: Conduct personal information security impact assessment.
Personal Information Security Impact Assessment in China

Subject

Personal information controller in China

Target

  • Validate the legal compliance.
  • 评估信息主体合法权益受到损害的风险.
  • Assess the effectiveness of the measures to protect the information subject.

Content

  • 收集个人信息是否遵循特定目的原则, explicit consent, data minimization, etc.
  • 个人信息的处理是否可能对信息主体的合法权益产生不利影响.
  • The effectiveness of personal information security measures.
  • 个人信息主体被重新识别或与其他数据集聚合后信息主体被识别的风险.
  • 共享对个人信息主体合法权益可能造成的不利影响, transfer and public disclosure of personal information.
  • 安全泄露事件发生后对个人信息主体合法权益可能产生的不利影响..

Steps

  1. 建立个人信息安全影响评估程序(金融类个人信息至少每年一次),评估个人信息处理活动的安全风险.
  2. Determine the content of a personal information security impact assessment.
  3. 确定是否进行个人信息安全影响评估
  4. 编制使用个人信息安全影响评估报告,并采取措施保护个人信息.
  5. 保留个人信息安全影响评估的记录,并适当地公开披露信息,以确保相关方可以获得这些信息.

 

 

  • Step 3: Implement risk response. 在2020规范中增加第三方访问管理的要求是转移风险方法的一个例子. Enterprises should also share risk with customers (e.g., 只有在征得个人信息主体明确同意后,才能进行额外处理).
  • Step 4: Conduct ongoing risk evaluation. Financial consumers’ protection measures require that financial institutions check the potential risk of personal financial information security at least once every 6 months; the 2020 Specification regulates that Chinese enterprises audit the effectiveness of personal information protection policies, relevant procedures and security measures; prevent unauthorized reading, altering or deleting of audit records; safeguard audit records and ensure their retention period meets the applicable regulatory requirements
Conclusion

Privacy is not just a compliance issue anymore. 它是关于在数据生命周期中管理消费者信任和保护个人数据. 实施隐私风险管理是为有效的隐私管理提供基础的关键步骤.
