According to the "Wuhan Evening News" on September 12, Mr. Shao, the citizen of Wuhan City, wanted to shop at Metro Supermarket. Because non -members could not consume, he registered a temporary member. Whether the supermarket requires is inappropriate. In this regard, experts said that if you only target individual consumption, it is not necessary to provide identity card information.

Registered members involved in the incident need to provide ID numbers, while other supermarkets do not need to provide. So, is it necessary for consumers to register supermarket members to provide ID numbers? Does this violate the "minimum and necessary" principle of personal information processing?

In recent years, the awareness of public personal information protection has increased, and the behavior of asking for personal information is becoming more and more sensitive, and the laws of protecting personal information have also improved. Civil code stipulates that the personal information of natural persons is protected by law. Personal information can identify the various information of specific natural persons by electron or other methods, including the name of natural persons, birthdays, and identity documents. Personal information protection rules stipulate that handling personal information should follow the principles of legal, legitimate, necessary, and integrity, and to have a clear and reasonable purpose, directly related to the purpose of handling, and adopt the least impact on personal rights and interests; collecting personal information should be limited to limited to To achieve the minimum range of treatment purposes, personal information shall not be collected.

There are many scenes similar to consumers who are required to provide ID numbers. Although consumers know, "agree" is passive and helpless. The ID number is a very important personal information. It is bound to many account numbers and documents, which is related to the personal rights of citizens. In fact, by asking consumer names and mobile phone numbers, merchants can also carry out marketing management functions such as real -name registered registration and realizing sending coupons. Expand big data analysis portraits and achieve precise marketing, etc., is a demand for expanding marketing. The collection of information based on this demand obviously lacks necessity, which has exceeded the minimum range of collecting personal information, and violates the requirements of the minimum impact of personal information to deal with personal rights.

Right now, Mr. Shao has some commonality of information protection. On the basis of the "minimum and necessary" principles of the law that has clearly handled personal information, how should you grasp the specific scenarios? In this regard, you can learn from the relevant departments' supervision of APP to obtain user information. In response to the specific links of handling personal information in the relevant industry, the boundary and positive and negative list of collecting personal information to collect the minimum scope of personal information are provided to the merchants with action guidelines and consumption for consumption. Personal rights protection and regulatory departments provide a clear basis for strengthening governance, so as to make the "minimum and necessary" principles more operable.
