Abstract

When it comes to the use of personal data, enterprises’ legitimate rights and interests are protected by law. However, the protection of such rights and interests is limited. This study explores the checks and balances in enterprises’ use of personal data. The use of personal data applies the social governance concept of public interest protection and the theory of justice. To break the data monopoly that harms public interest, it is important to start from the confirmation of rights. The main aim of confirmation of rights is to determine the ownership of data rights and limits of exercising such rights. On the basis of the principle of hierarchy of interests, when commercial interests come into conflict with personality rights and interests, enterprises should give way to personality rights and interests and prioritize the protection of these rights in data, including the personality rights and interests of others and those of the enterprise itself. When using other people’s data for commercial purposes, enterprises must be careful not to infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of others, which is a requirement by the concept of balance of interests and the theory of justice.
