For the prevention of Corona 19, the name will be removed from the handwritten access list created by multi-use facilities, etc., and the mobile phone number and address of the person entering the city will be reduced.
The government is reducing the collection of personally identifiable information due to concerns about personal information infringement.
The government also obliges local governments to recommend guidelines for the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (middle script) on the disclosure of information about the movement of confirmed persons.
The Personal Information Protection Committee (Gaebo Committee) announced the'Corona 19 Personal Information Protection Reinforcement Measures' containing these details in the main script today (11th).
This countermeasure is in response to concerns about privacy invasion in the process of processing personal information related to the COVID-19 quarantine measures.
In recent years, there has been a controversy over personal information infringement due to poor management of handwritten access lists and non-compliance with the guidelines for disclosing confirmed cases by some municipalities.
As a result of checking the status of personal information management handled during the COVID-19 quarantine process with the quarantine authorities, the Gaebo Committee determined that there is a risk of personal information leakage due to the fact that there are many places where various visitor information is recorded on one sheet and there are no separate shredders. .
Accordingly, it was decided to change the quarantine regulations soon in the future so that the written access list only includes the person's mobile phone number and the city/county/gu address, excluding names.
Currently, when creating a handwritten list at high-risk facilities such as karaoke rooms and PC rooms, or multi-use facilities such as restaurants, movie theaters, and cafes, the identity is verified with identification after writing down the name and phone number together.
The Doge Bowie also decided to review a plan to exempt from writing a handwritten list when ordering a package while wearing a mask.
In the electronic access register based on QR code, facility visit information (visit date and time, facility name, etc.) and user information (visit date and time, user name, mobile phone number, etc.) are distributed and stored in the Korea Social Security Information Service and QR code issuing organizations. It was investigated that it was automatically destroyed after 4 weeks of creation and is being managed safely.
However, for the vulnerable who are not familiar with the use of electronic devices, the plan is to expand the application of the'caller's phone number access control' method in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, where visit information is automatically recorded by making a call.
Regarding the disclosure of the traffic path of confirmed persons, it has been decided to obligate the guidelines recommended by local governments, such as the confidentiality of personally identifiable information and deletion after the 14th.
As a result of a thorough investigation of the homepages of 243 local governments across the country on the 24th and 28th of last month, 435 cases were found that did not comply with the guidelines for disclosing the circulation of confirmed cases in the script.
Among them, 349 cases revealed the route of the confirmed person, including personally identifiable information such as gender, age, and place of residence, and 86 cases were non-compliance with the deletion time without deleting the traffic line information 14 days after the last contact.
Although the Gaebowi was deleted from the local government's homepage, the information on the movement of the confirmed patients remaining shared with the social network service (SNS) will be continuously detected and deleted.
