The importance of protecting privacy

Importance of privacy protection: Privacy protection is a respect for human freedom and dignity and an important symbol of human civilization and progress. The legal protection of personal information privacy is not only the practical need of human rights protection in China's constitution, but also the inevitable requirement of the development of network information technology in China. To establish a country ruled by law, it is necessary to protect citizens' personal information through legislation.

The right to privacy is a kind of personality right that cannot be illegally violated, known, collected, used and made public by others. The right subject has the right to decide to what extent others can interfere in their private lives, whether their privacy is made public to others, and the scope and extent of publicity. Privacy is a basic right of personality.
