个人生物识别信息的合理使用制度研究

Research on the Rational Application of Personal Biometric Information

摘要: 个人生物识别信息作为个人信息类型中的重要类型，《个人信息保护法》第13条中明确的个人信息合理使用情形同样适用于处理个人生物识别信息的场景，健全合理使用制度也充分回应了处理个人生物识别信息的现实诉求。然而，在现行个人生物识别信息合理使用制度运行的过程中，存在个人生物识别信息的合理使用缺乏具体规则指引、合理使用的认定标准不明确、合理使用的立法规范零散，体系化不足等问题。为促进个人生物识别信息的保护和合理利用，应当完善个人生物识别信息合理使用的具体规则，明确个人生物识别信息合理使用的认定标准，健全个人生物识别信息合理使用的综合治理机制。

Abstract: Given the significance of personal data, the judicious handling of such information, as outlined in Article 13 of the Personal Information Protection Law, extends to managing personal biometric data, and a sound reasonable use system has fully responded to the realistic demands for handling personal biometric information. However, in the course of the operation of the existing reasonable use system for personal biometric information, there are problems such as the lack of specific rules guiding the reasonable use of personal biometric information, unclear criteria for determining reasonable use, and fragmented and insufficiently systematic legislative norms for reasonable use. In order to promote the protection and reasonable application of personal biometric information, specific rules for the reasonable use of personal biometric information should be improved, and it’s essential to elucidate the standards for the judicious application of individual biometric data, and the comprehensive governance mechanism for the reasonable use of personal biometric information should be improved.
