Abstract

This study analyzes the major content, significances, and future outlook of Three Data Acts amendment enacted in August 2020 in South Korea, with the focus on their impact on the financial and data industries. It seems that the revision of the Credit Information Act will enable the specification of a business which had previously only been regulated as the business of credit inquiry, and also enable the domestic data industry to activate the MyData industry, data trading and platforms, and specify data pseudonymization and trading procedures. For the rational and efficient implementation of the amendments to the Three Data Acts, the Personal Information Protection Committee must be as transparent and lawful in its activities as possible, and fairness must be guaranteed. Even in the utilization of personal information, the development or complementation of the related data processing technologies is essential, and clear data processing methods and areas must be regulated. Furthermore, the amendments must be supported with guarantees and the systematization of a fair competitive system in the data market, stricter regulations on penalties for illegal acts related to data, establishment and strengthening of the related security systems, and reinforcement of the system of cooperation for data transfer.

본 연구는 2020년 8월에 시행된 데이터 3법 개정안의 주요 내용과 의미, 향후 전망 등을 금융 산업계 및 데이터 산업계에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 분석·고찰한다. 신용정보법의 개정으로 과거 신용 조회업으로만 단일 규정되었던 업종이 구체화 될 수 있을 것으로 보이고, 국내 데이터 산업계에는 마이데이터 산업 및 데이터 거래 산업과 플랫폼 활성화, 데이터 가명 처리와 거래 절차의 구체화 등이 가능하리라 전망된다. 데이터 3법 개정안의 합리적·효율적 적용과 이행을 위해서는 개인정보보호위원회의 운영이 최대한 투명하고 적법하며, 그 과정에서 공정성이 보장되어야 한다. 개인정보 활용에 있어서도 데이터 처리 기술의 개발·보완이 필수적이고, 명확한 데이터 처리 방법과 영역이 규정될 필요가 있다. 나아가 공정한 데이터 시장 경쟁 체제 보장 및 제도화, 데이터 위법 행위에 대한 처벌 규정 강화, 보안 시스템의 확립 및 강화, 데이터 이관에 대한 협력 시스템 강화가 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.
