In the era of big data and the rule of law for the protection of personal information, the state is no longer purely in the role of a regulator outside the relationship between the information industry and the subject of the information, and the governmental departments on behalf of the state have become the largest processor of personal information. Similar to the handling of personal information by the information industry, the handling of personal information by the governmental departments is still based on the premise of legality or legitimacy. --- "Personal Information Protection Law (Expert Recommendation Draft) and Legislative Rationale" by Zhang Xinbao and Ge Xin Article 33 This Law shall apply to the activities of state organs in handling personal information; where there are special provisions in this section, the provisions of this section shall apply. Interpretation State organs need to handle a large amount of personal information in order to fulfill their functions. Therefore, a lot of personal information is in the hands of state organs. In order to protect personal information, it is necessary to clearly stipulate that the handling of personal information by state organs is also subject to the provisions of this Law. Judicial practice shows that cases of leakage, unlawful use, and trading of personal information by staff members of state organs occur from time to time, and that such illegal and criminal acts are often due to loopholes in the protection of personal information or negligence on the part of the organization in which the perpetrator works. State organs should learn from this lesson and improve the handling of personal information in accordance with the provisions of this law.
