Applying the traditional theory of personality propertilization to personal information,will either result in a mis-match of rights assignment or hinder the effectiveness of the authorization mechanism.Through property value tracing,it reveals that personal information exists in three forms:original data,data of collection,and derivative data.The original data with per-sonal information is of little use,which makes it unsuitable as an object of property rights.On the contrary,the assembled data with personal information is adequate to be property.The same as the derivative form.The categorization of personal information data clarifies the relationship between personal information rights,information use rights and data property rights.Personal infor-mation rights are the legal base for commercializing personal information data so that we can apply the licensing mechanism based on the consent of the individual born in personality self-determination.The nature of consent is a quasi-legal act,which gener-ates the right to use personal information with a low degree of freedom.This kind of rights is different from data property rights,and it is necessary to introduce the claim of notification/promise and statutory fiduciary obligations to protect the consent of the in-dividual.Consent rooting in personal information rights affirms the positive freedom of commercial use of personal information,justifies the commercial license of personal information,and supports the parallel development of personal information,but avoids the absolute nature of"domination over objects",denies the exclusiveness of licensing,and reveals the illegality of infring-ing data property rights.This rights-confirming and authorizing model is conducive to promoting data sharing and stabilizing the production order.
