网络存储环节人脸识别信息的刑法保护

扫码查看
人脸识别信息系个人数字身份的具体反映,具有多样化的社会功能。在元宇宙、云存储等新兴应用场景中,人脸识别信息刑法保护的必要性日益凸显。网络存储包括人脸识别仿真在内的海量信息,为后续信息共享和处理环节提供了重要的支持。如果网络服务提供者非法存储用户的人脸识别信息,拒不履行信息网络安全管理义务,经监管部门责令改正而拒不改正,并且致使用户信息泄露,造成严重后果的,应以拒不履行信息网络安全管理义务罪论处。在司法适用中,可以从信息网络安全管理义务的具体内容、"致使用户信息泄露,造成严重后果"的认定标准这两个角度入手,界定网络存储环节人脸识别信息的刑法保护范围。在界定信息网络安全管理义务的内容时,应考察信息存储的安全管理制度是否健全以及网络服务提供者处理用户请求的常态化措施是否有效运作。涉案信息数量应适用高度敏感个人信息的保护标准。
Protection of Facial Recognition Information in Network Storage Under the Criminal Law
Facial recognition information serves as a tangible manifestation of one's digital identity and fulfills a multitude of social functions.In emerging application scenarios such as the metaverse and cloud storage,the necessity of strengthening protection of facial recognition information is becoming increasingly prominent.The network storage plays a pivotal role in fixing and saving facial recognition information,providing important support for subsequent processing stages.If a network service provider illegally stores facial recognition information of users,neglects its obligations in information network security management,and refuses to take corrective measures as ordered by regulatory authorities,resulting in user information leakage and serious consequences,it may face penalties for failing to uphold its obligations in information network security management.In judicial application,the scope of protection for facial recognition information in network storage can be delineated from two angles:the precise obligations in information network security management and the criteria for determining"causing user information leakage and serious consequences".When defining the content of obligations in information network security management,it is advisable to scrutinize the robustness of the information storage security management system and whether network service providers have effectively implemented standardized procedures for addressing user requests.The volume of information involved in such cases should adhere to the protection standards stipulated for highly sensitive personal information.
