Introduction

GB/T 34978—2017: Interpretation of Technical Requirements for Personal Information Protection in Mobile Smart Terminals

Background and Significance of Standard Formulation

With the widespread application of mobile smart terminals, personal information plays an increasingly important role in social and economic activities. However, the abuse of personal information has also increased, bringing potential risks to individuals and society. The formulation of GB/T 34978—2017 aims to regulate the behavior of mobile smart terminals in handling personal information and ensure the reasonable use and safe protection of personal information.

Comparative Analysis of Standard Frameworks

Dimensions GB/T 34978—2017 Other relevant standards
Scope Applicable to guiding the processing of personal information by mobile smart terminals for public and commercial purposes Mainly for internal information management systems of enterprises
Classification principles Based on the principles of minimum sufficiency and explicit consent Highly flexible, without clear principle constraints
Technical requirements Covering the four links of collection, processing, transfer and deletion Mainly focusing on data storage and transmission security

Interpretation of Personal Information Protection Principles and Technical Requirements

1. Collection Stage

  • Users must be informed of the purpose and scope of information before collection
  • Only collect the minimum information necessary to achieve the purpose
  • Users are supported to configure or disable the collection function
  • Sensitive information must be authorized using explicit consent

2. Processing Stage

  • Users must be informed of the purpose and method before processing
  • Ensure data security and integrity
  • Users are supported to adjust or disable the processing function
  • Prohibit covert means of mining identity feature data

3. Transfer Stage

  • Users must be informed of the purpose and recipient before transfer
  • The scope of transfer is controlled based on the principle of minimum sufficiency
  • User authorization is required for sensitive information transfer
  • Ensure data transmission security and integrity

4. Deletion phase

  • Provide a convenient deletion function
  • Ensure data is completely deleted and cannot be recovered
  • Support remote destruction of data in lost devices

Actual application case analysis

For example, in a mobile smart terminal application, the user authorizes the use of location information for map navigation services. According to the standard requirements, the application must:

  • Explicitly inform users that location information will be used for navigation services
  • Only collect the minimum location data required to implement navigation functions
  • Provide the function of turning off location information services
  • Ensure encryption protection of location data during transmission

Implementation recommendations

  1. Enterprise level:Establish a personal information protection system that meets the standards and conduct security audits and risk assessments on a regular basis.
  2. Developer level: Strictly follow the standard requirements during application development to ensure that each link complies with the specifications.
  3. User level: Improve awareness of personal information protection and reasonably authorize application permissions.
