Abstract

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of global public health crises has brought data governance to the forefront of legal and policy discussions. This paper examines how to reconcile the imperative of data open- ness and information sharing with the need to safeguard personal sensitive information in the context of public health emergencies. By analyzing the pivotal role of big data in such crises, it underscores its significance in epidemic prediction, real-time monitoring, policy decision-making, and the allocation of healthcare resources. After delineating the legal connotations of data rights, the paper explores the statutory and ethical frameworks governing data accessibility and protection. Ultimately, it emphasizes the necessity of ensuring the security of personal information while advancing the public interest, thereby seeking to strike a legally sound and ethical- ly balanced approach to data governance.
