Abstract

Taking a normative analyzing approach, this study summarized the framework of laws and regulations concerning privacy protection and analyzed the legislative problems in the privacy protection in a smart city scenario. Since the laws and regulations for privacy protection are scattered in the Constitution and other existing laws, the privacy protection in China is inevitably scattered in laws of particular areas. Major problems exist in almost all sections in collecting, spreading, storing and using personal information. Basic principles, including collection limitation, data quality, purpose specification, security safeguards, openness, should be followed for the improvement of the legislation of Chinese concerning privacy issues in smart cities.
