个人行踪信息民法保护的困境与出路
The Dilemma and Way out of the Protection of Personal Whereabouts Information in Civil Law

个人行踪信息是敏感个人信息，我国法律并无对其内涵的明确界定，数字经济时代，行踪信息的价值得以凸显，行踪信息兼具个人信息与个人隐私的双重属性。其具有高度的敏感性、实时动态性和强法益关联性的独特性。目前行踪信息的保护面临知情同意原则被虚化、最小比例原则被逾越、数字经济驱动及公共安全优先冲突以及行踪信息范围认定之难的现实困境。对此应当合理界定行踪信息，肯定行踪信息的法律地位；优化知情同意原则，强化最小必要原则；根据个人行踪信息的类型和敏感度对其进行分类分级保护，以实现数字时代个人行踪信息的保护和利用的利益平衡。
Personal whereabouts information is sensitive personal information, and our law does not have a clear definition of its connotation. In the digital economy era, the value of the whereabouts information is highlighted, and the whereabouts information has the dual attributes of personal information and personal privacy. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity, real-time dynamics and strong legal-interest relevance. At present, the protection of whereabouts information is faced with the realistic dilemma that the principle of informed consent is blurred, the principle of minimum proportion is exceeded, the digital economy is driven by the conflict of public security priority, and the scope of whereabouts information is difficult to identify. In this regard, we should reasonably define the whereabouts information and affirm the legal status of the whereabouts information. Optimize the principle of informed consent and strengthen the principle of least necessary; according to the type and sensitivity of personal whereabouts information, it is classified and protected to achieve the balance of interests between the protection and utilization of personal whereabouts information in the digital age.
