The Central Network Information Office issued a notice that no unit or individual may disclose personal information such as name, age, ID number and telephone number. Without the consent of the person being collected, except for joint defense and desensitization.

Personal privacy is inviolable, and prevention and control of epidemic situation is no exception. Because of the epidemic prevention and control, many cases and suspected cases are reported one after another, but in this process, it is also easy to disclose private information, which brings great trouble to the parties. This move by the Central Network Information Office has well protected the security of personal privacy information.

The introduction of this measure is mainly because there is a lot of information in the information collection stage of epidemic prevention and control, including personal name, telephone number, ID number and other private information. Once this information is leaked, it will not only have a great impact on the parties, but also make it difficult to collect information on epidemic prevention and control. At the same time, the epidemic prevention and control team also requires that some unnecessary information can be directly discarded during the collection process without collecting records. If the collected information is not strictly regulated in terms of security protection and later use, it will have a great negative impact. Especially now that the epidemic situation has been controlled, the control and use of information collection measures should be more flexible and gradually adjusted with the actual situation. On the premise of maintaining public safety, it can effectively protect the rights of individuals, reduce the amount of personal information collected, and avoid information leakage and disclosure.

At the same time, according to the requirements of "Network Data Processing Security Standard", the storage of personal information should be deleted within 60 days after the end of epidemic response, which is very necessary to protect the security of collected information.

In the event of a major public health emergency, it is very necessary to collect relevant information and data, but at the same time, the most important thing to pay attention to is information security to prevent the risk of leakage.
