ABSTRACT

This study highlights the necessity of developing a personal information protection policy that reflects the unique characteristics of archives and the contextual information embedded in records. It explores the policy design directions and institutional foundations necessary for implementing such a policy. Moreover, the study analyzes institutional conflicts between the Personal Information Protection Act and the Public Records Management Act and identifies the limitations of protection measures that rely solely on the deletion of identifiers to safeguard data subjects’ rights. In particular, it emphasizes the need to consider reidentification risks that emerge from contextual relationships resulting from the aggregative character of records. The findings of this study suggest that archives should utilize contextual information to develop a framework for sensitivity reviews and reidentification risk evaluation. Furthermore, an integrated policy framework is required—one that reflects the unique characteristics of archives and incorporates ethical decision-making, the formation of a multidisciplinary expert advisory committee, the establishment of a dedicated organizational unit, regulatory refinement, and the integration of relevant technical requirements. By outlining both institutional and technical strategies, this study aims to provide a foundational framework for implementing effective and sustainable personal information protection policies within archival environments.
