摘要
个人信息侵权责任中的因果关系可区分为侵权责任成立的因果关系和侵权责任范围的因果关系两个层次。前一个层次为个人信息处理者的处理行为与个人信息权益被侵害之间的因果关系,并通过条件说加以判断。如果多个处理者从事共同处理活动或共享个人信息,在无法确定何人的处理活动侵害个人信息权益时,可将该数个处理者作为整体看待。只要能够证明该整体的活动对于侵害个人信息权益存在高度可能性,责任成立的因果关系即可确定。后一个层次为个人信息权益被侵害与损害之间的因果关系,并通过相当因果关系说加以判断。就第三人利用个人信息给信息主体造成的人身或财产损害的情形,处理者是否需要承担赔偿责任应区分所处理的是敏感的还是非敏感的个人信息而加以判断。
Causality in personal information tort liability is divided into two levels.The first level is the causal relationship of tort liability,that is,the causal relationship between the processing behavior of personal information processors and the infringement of personal information rights and interests,and it is judged by conditional theory.If multiple processors engage in common processing activities or share personal information,they can be regarded as a whole when it is uncertain whose processing activities infringe on the rights and interests of personal information.As long as it can be proved that there is a high possibility that the whole activity infringes on personal information rights and interests,the causal relationship of liability can be determined.The latter level is the causality of the scope of responsibility,that is,the causality between the infringement and damage of personal information rights and interests,and it is judged by the theory of considerable causality.In the case of personal or property damage caused to the information subject by the third party's use of personal information,whether the processor needs to bear the liability for compensation should be judged by distinguishing whether it is sensitive or non-sensitive personal information.
