Is there a Balance between Legal Provisions in the Field of Personal Data Protection and Blockchain Technology? (Based on the Analysis of the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China)
( Pp. 14-22)
Abstract:
With the development of digital technologies and the increase in the volume of personal data, there is a growing need for strong privacy tools to protect against potential harm, such as identity theft, cyberharassment and discrimination. In recent years, blockchain technologies (or DLT distributed ledger technologies) have become widely known due to their huge potential for the single digital market. At the same time, discussions about the combination of blockchain technology and the protection of personal information are gaining momentum. At the international level, the influence of blockchain has gone beyond the financial sphere and began to spread to many other areas. While affirming the prospects of using blockchain in the field of personal information, we cannot ignore some contradictions between the technological rationale of a formal blockchain and the existing legal norms for protecting personal information. This article will present a number of discrepancies between the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (which entered into force on November 1, 2021) and blockchain technology in terms of rethinking the concept of «personal information», identifying various «personal information operators», «personal information processing» in the blockchain and the role of users in the blockchain.
