Abstract: The personal data protection system constructed according to the principle of informed consent is faced with serious challenges such as excessive collection,unauthorized disclosure and abuse.The path of public rights protection has the limitations of supervision strength,scope and effectiveness,while the concept of damage in the traditional tort law sets up the private law relief rights of the data subject.Therefore,in order to ensure the healthy development of digital economy,we must expand the meaning of damage in tort law.Legally compensable damage to personal data should extend to two new types of damage:the risk of secondary damage to data subjects,and the impairment of personality interests caused by social sorting discrimination,data monitoring,and automatic decision-making and so on.When determining the specific amount of compensation,in order to solve the dilemma of economic quantification and burden of proof caused by the impairment of risk and personality interests,the personal Information Protection Law should adopt the legal compensation system which is widely used in the intellectual property law.

Key words: personal data damage, risk of secondary damage, impairment of personality interests, legal compensation, data subject
