개인정보 취급방침의 변경에 따른 문제점과 관련법의 적용에 관한 연구 - 페이스북과 구글의 개인정보 취급방침 변경문제를 중심으로 -

The companies that collect and use personal information have to manage it from collecting to discarding safely according to the principle of protecting private information and related laws. And the companies have to let users know how their personal information is being handled by framing out and disclosing the privacy policies regarding personal information given by users. However, last year, as global companies such as Facebook and Google changed their privacy policy, big controversies took place not only in the national area but also in the world. Because they intended to integrate all privacy policies into their subsidiary companies. Although there were some more things that were changed, I focused on discussing what social problems and legal issues that the integrated privacy policy has caused are, and how to solve them. It is not easy for the integrated privacy policy to be applied by present laws inside and outside the country, since it has not been directly considered yet. On the other hand, seen in the frame of the principle that limits collecting and using out of private information protection policy, it is obviously against the principle. Therefore, through extended interpretation of the regulation, we needs to make clear that the integrated policy not only violates the law, but also infringes the principle for protection of personal information. Also, looking to the theory of legislation, we need to make a specific regulation that prohibits or restricts it. Also containing the matter of integration in the regulation on use of personal information is needed.
