On the Special Protection of the Rights of Elderly Data Sources in an Aging Society
In the context of the coexistence of aging and digitization,the rights and interests of data sources for the elderly urgently need special protection."When the rights of data sources as stipulated in Article 20 of the Data Act have not yet been transformed into legal expressions,the existing rules on personal data protection do not adequately protect the personal data rights and interests of data sources of the elderly,and even exacerbate the digital divide between the elderly and other groups.Based on the concept of fair utilization of data,it is necessary to provide preferential protection for elderly data sources in order to prevent the formation of an anchoring effect between elderly data sources and data processors,which in turn triggers the monopolization of the data factor market and hinders the continuous innovation of the data factor market.On the basis of clarifying that the rights of data sources are legal civil entity rights and interests,it should be made clear that the rights of data sources include personal information rights and property rights and interests.From the perspective of the entire process of data processing,the personal information rights and interests of elderly data sources should be respected,and a reasonable revenue distribution system should be established to realize the property rights and interests of elderly data sources.
