Normative Construction of Reader Data Collection:Taking Public Libraries as a Research Perspective
With the diversification of reading pathways in China,the data-collecting subjects represented by public libraries and private reading software are facing increasing risks of privacy leakage and property infringement.The re-collecting of reader data by administrative authorities increases the risk of damage to the rights enjoyed by readers as natural persons.There are inherent reasons for the inadequate protection of reader data.Firstly,the relationship between the library as the data collector and the readers as the data subjects is not equal,and the status between the two is still not harmonized even after the adjustment of the law.Secondly,the current law generalizes the identification of readers'personal information,resulting in almost all of the readers'data needing to be protected at a high level.In this regard,four aspects can be regulated and guaranteed for the collection of reader data in order to avoid the risks brought by the collection of reader data.First,legislators and regulators should not impose excessive compliance obligations on libraries,but rather incentivize libraries to achieve data compliance through reasonable attribution of responsibility;second,libraries should de-identify reader data to remove the diversified risks behind reader data from the source;third,when anonymizing reader data,the advantages and disadvantages of anonymization criteria should be evaluated in a scenario;fourth,perform a compliance risk assessment of reader data to objectively understand the risk index to which the implementation is exposed.
