Abstract: The use of facial recognition by administrative organs has special characteristics in terms of the source of usage permissions, usage purposes, usage methods, etc., which puts forward a practical need for differentiated norms for the use of facial recognition by administrative organs. However, at present, there is no special regulation on the personal information processing behavior of administrative organs in China, and the relevant legal provisions are relatively rough and vague. Therefore, in response to the existing problems and based on the requirements of building a rule of law government, it is proposed to choose an appropriate legal regulatory model, restrict facial recognition application subjects through prior approval, grant facial recognition application permissions in stages, facilitate participation in supervision channels and improve information transparency, and carry out differentiated accountability for different types of administrative actions, so as to achieve the legalization of the institutions, functions, authorities, procedures, and responsibilities of administrative agencies using facial recognition.

Key words: a lawbased government, administrative organs, face recognition, personal information protection, principles of legality, legitimacy and necessity

摘要: 行政机关使用人脸识别在使用权限来源、使用目的、使用方式等方面具有特殊性,对行政机关使用人脸识别提出了差异化规范的现实需求.但目前我国尚未对行政机关的个人信息处理行为进行特别规范,并且相关法律规定较为粗略模糊.因此,针对现存问题,基于法治政府建设的要求,提出应选择适当的法律规范模式,通过事前审批限制人脸识别应用主体,分阶段授予人脸识别应用权限,畅通参与监督渠道并提高信息公开透明度,以及针对不同类型的行政行为进行差异化追责,从而实现行政机关使用人脸识别之机构、职能、权限、程序、责任法定化.
