Title:

Toward developing a comprehensive regime for personal information protection in networked Chinese public sectors

Brief summary:

This study proposes a comprehensive regime for protecting personal information in networked Chinese public sectors.

Content:

The study aims to develop a risk-based evaluation and control approach for personal information protection and proposes a participatory governance model for the provision of access to personal information with respect to its protection of privacy. With the adoption of a multi-methods approach including literature review, document analysis and case study, this study investigates the perspectives, paradigms and fundamental principles for personal information protection in China. Such an investigation would lead to the identification of the legal requirements for personal information protection and access based on relevant laws, regulations and standards in China. As a result, an integrated framework for personal information protection can be developed for the public sector in China.

  

Scientific contribution:

The contribution of this study is on the development of a holistic strategy for the protection of personal information protection in the networked Chinese public sector. Such a strategy consists of three aspects including (a) an adequate classification of personal information for risk control with respect to protection of privacy, (b) an appropriate guideline for balance between protection and shared access along the entire life-cycle of personal information, and (c) a participatory personal information protection regime for the provision of adequate access to personal information within the context of rapid developments of information technology, digital life, green economy and social innovation in a networked world.
