Resumen

China's personal information protection system mainly unfolds around the protection of personal information rights and the realization of data interests. However, this system faces two major predicaments in practice: the definition of the protected objects and the balance between rights and interests. Whether information belongs to personal information needs to be judged specifically in specific usage scenarios. Personal information simultaneously carries the dual demands of data flow and rights protection, and a balance needs to be achieved. The entropy weight model based on information entropy theory can calculate and describe the identification ability of personal information, providing objective parameters for judgment. By substituting the calculation results of the entropy weight model into the Alexy weight formula, the balance between personal information rights and data flow interests in dynamic scenarios can be analyzed. This article proposes a method to assist in determining the legal definition of the object and the dynamic balance of rights and interests through calculation conclusions by adopting an interdisciplinary research approach, and presents an effective research paradigm for personal protection.
