Jurisprudence of the Right of Withdrawal of Consent for Personal Information and the Renewal of Rules
The concise legal provisions on the right to withdraw consent,coupled with its lack of corresponding judicial interpretation and uniform standards of practice,still have difficulties in understanding and application.This right refers to the individual's authority to unilaterally restrict others'interference in their personal sphere by withdrawing consent,effectively terminating a valid expression of intent.Essentially,it is a right of revocation that possesses the attributes of personal rights.In contrast to the capacity to act under the Civil Code,minors aged 14 have the legal capacity to consent to personal information,and they have the right to withdraw their consent in whole or in part at any time and in a convenient manner.To address the imbalance of interests in current withdrawal of consent regulations,we can restructure the consent solicitation mechanisms for information processors,ensuring they fulfill their risk assessment and notification obligations.Additionally,we should restrict the exercise of the withdrawal right on a case-by-case basis and provide exceptions to liability rules,aiming for a balanced development between personal information protection and economic benefits.
