Personal data has become an important type of information for Chinese society. The risks and problems of protecting personal data have increased due to the rapid build-up of information. The protection of personal data is not only a sphere of private law, but also part of administrative law in cases where administrative authorities collect, process and use personal data. Administrative legislation is developing rapidly. However, the administrative and legal protection of personal data has even some legal basis, but still faces many difficulties in its implementation. In this regard, it is necessary to establish a special law on the protection of personal data, form a mechanism for strict supervision and improve the legal protection system.
