Abstract:The way which views personal information as the object of civil right faces the dual dilemma of over-protection and under-protection. It is also difficult to respond to the systematic risks caused by large-scale information collection and processing. Personal information is essentially a composite of some concrete personal rights and other personality interests. The private law needs to distinguish between the protection of “rights” and the protection of “legal interests”. As a common good, personal information belonging to the “legal interests” cannot be covered by concrete personal rights, but can be protected by “the tortuous liability of breach of statutory duty”. By legal interpretation, Clause 1 of Article 6 in The Law of Tortious Liability can be a referral clause. Through this clause, the provisions of protective law about personal information can be introduced into the private law system to achieve the integration of private law and public law.
