For many netizens, protecting personal information has always been a concern. Let's take a look at what some people are saying about protecting personal privacy here in China.
"I remembered when I went to the hospital last year. I needed to register online beforehand, so I put my email address in. But after that, I realized there were always strange emails being sent to my account. I was quite worried those documents, including some confidential information in my email, had been stolen by someone."
MRS. GE "Honestly I would be worried about that, but I think how to protect users' privacy is more important for those companies. It would be better if there was someone in particular to supervise this information. And signing a confidential agreement also works for that."
MR. ZHAO "There are always many internet frauds being reported. So I am extremely careful when I need to give out my personal information online. Sometimes if I just need to register for a shopping website, I will enter a nick name and a different age, just in case my information is stolen."
MRS. SUN "Sometimes I am quite worried about websites selling my personal information. When I go to a website, I am quite aware of entering my personal details if needed. Normally, I don't release my personal information to unreliable platforms."
