Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Aiming at the absence of legal system in the development of digital economy in China, the paper explores the normative experience from the free flow system of non-personal data in EU.[Method/process] Using the network investigation method to sort out the non-personal data system involved in foreign legal and policy, and inductive method and deductive approach to deconstruct, it is concluded that the fundamental reason for the formation of the free flow system of non-personal data in the EU lies in the inherent demand of the digital single market strategy and the institutional basis for the free flow of data.[Result/conclusion] The main elements of the EU free flow system for non-personal data include abolition of data localisation requirements, encouraging and facilitating the development of self-regulatory codes of conduct of porting of data at Union level, allowing authorized institutions to request, or obtain, access to data for the performance of their official duties in accordance with Union or national law, evaluating the implementation of the Regulation (EU) 2018/1807, and publishing informative guidance on the interaction of the Regulation (EU) 2018/1807 and Regulation (EU) 2016/679. In China, the construction of an orderly flow rule system for non-personal data should be included in the legislative plan, and the rights of personal information portability and the rights of porting of non-personal data should be set separately in the drafting of the Personal Information Protection Law and the Data Security Law.
