摘要： 司法解释对为合法经营而非法获取公民个人信息的行为设置了特殊的定罪量刑标准。该解释不仅在理论上引发了“为合法经营”属于定罪情节抑或量刑情节的争议,司法实践中也因怠于解释兜底条款、扩张特定信息外延、不当适用曾受处罚又再犯的规定而陷入被虚置的窘境。分析发现,“为合法经营”不对判断侵犯公民个人信息罪的成立发挥作用,而只是一种量刑情节;无论其是否(附带地或另外地)也作为违法性或有责性判断的客观、主观基础事实,“为合法经营”皆属于降低责任刑之情节。应准确把握“其他严重情节”的外延,严格解释“影响公民人身、财产安全”类个人信息,调整“情节严重”中行为人违法犯罪前科的规定,防止该特殊规则的适用空间被不当限缩。同时,行为人获取个人信息用于合法经营的,即使因不满足其他条件而无法适用该特殊规则的,也可以在法定刑幅度内减少责任刑。

Abstract: The current judicial interpretation sets special conviction and sentencing standards for the illegal acquisition of personal information for legitimate business activities.This interpretation has not only given rise to controversy as to whether it is an element of the conviction or of the sentence, but has also been hollowed out by the lack of explanation of the underwriting clause, the scope of the expansive information and the misinterpretation of the provision that a previously punished person has committed a second offence.The analysis reveals that “for legal business activities” is not used to establish the offence of infringement of personal information, but is only a penalty circumstance.Whether or not it is also (incidentally or otherwise) used as an objective or subjective fact to determine illegality or culpability, it should be used as a circumstance to reduce the penalty of responsibility.The scope of “other aggravating circumstances” should be precisely defined, the personal information of the category “affecting the personal and property security” should be strictly interpreted, and the provisions of “aggravating circumstances” for previous offences should be amended.This will prevent the scope of application of this special rule from being unduly restricted.At the same time, if the perpetrator obtains personal information for legitimate business activities, the penalty of liability may be reduced even if other conditions are not met and the special rule cannot be applied.
