如今，网络在未成年人群体中的普及率居高不下，未成年人首次接触网络的年龄也在不断下降，网络在为未成年人的发展带来益处的同时，也让未成年人面临着安全风险和威胁。
其中，未成年人网络个人信息保护更是不容忽视的安全问题之一。
目前，针对网络环境下的未成年人个人信息所暴露出的安全问题，我国逐步推出、完善相关立法，以期加强监管和保护。但由于我国立法起步较晚，且大数据技术、互联网环境发展得极为快速，因此针对未成年人网络个人信息所提供的法律保障仍存在不足。文章通过分析未成年人网络个人信息所面临的问题、保护依据、法律困境，结合我国实际，试图为完善未成年人网络个人信息法律保护提出建议。
除绪论之外，本文共分为四个部分：
第一章为概述。通过梳理、辨析未成年人网络个人信息、个人信息、网络隐私等相关概念，准确界定本文研究对象和范围；其次，通过分析未成年人网络个人信息保护的必要性和所面临的安全风险，为后文提出相应的完善措施提供方向性引导。
第二章重点研究为我国未成年人网络个人信息提供法律保护的理论依据。基于个人信息保护理论和未成年人保护理论，论证我国未成年人网络个人信息法律保护的正当性。
第三章从我国一般性立法和专门性立法两个角度出发，系统梳理我国现有相关立法现状，分析出现有法律困境：在未成年人年龄标准界定及核实层面，存在未成年人年龄划分标准不统一以及年龄真实性核验难题，在监护人同意机制设计层面，“利益一致”的预设前提存在局限，监护人在现有机制下容易产生“同意疲劳”，且同意的真实有效性如何验证尚未明确。在网络运营者的规制层面，网络运营者在收集个人信息时需明确所用目的的原则存在限制，且针对网络运营者的责任义务的规定不够充分、具体。通过发现问题、分析问题，为后文提供解决方案给予有效的思路帮助。
第四章根据我国现有立法的不足，基于我国实际，同时借鉴国外先进经验做法，有针对性地提出优化路径，为完善未成年人网络个人信息法律保护工作提出建议：第一，构建起以单一年龄为界限的多层级保护机制和多类型的年龄验证方式；第二，根据不同网络场景适用不同程度的监护人同意模式，完善对监护人同意验证方式的相关法律规定；第三，以风险限定为原则，从合规义务及法律责任两方面进一步细化对网络运营者的监管规制。

Nowadays, the Internet has a high penetration rate among minors, and the age at which minors first contact the Internet is declining. While bringing benefits to the development of minors, the Internet also makes them face security risks and threats. Among them, the protection of minors’network personal information is one of the security problems that cannot be ignored.
At present, in view of the security problems exposed by personal information of minors in the Internet environment, our country gradually introduces and improves relevant legislation, in order to strengthen the supervision and protection. However, due to the late start of Chinese legislation, and the rapid development of the big data technology and Internet environment, the legal protection provided for minors’ network personal information is still insufficient. By analyzing the problems, the protection basis and the legal dilemma faced by minors’ network personal information, the thesis tries to put forward some suggestions for improving the legal protection of minors’ network personal information, based on the reality of our country.
In addition to the introduction, this thesis is divided into four parts:
The first chapter is the overview. By combing and discriminating minors’ online personal information, personal information, online privacy and other related concepts, accurately define the object and scope of this paper's research; Secondly, by analyzing the necessity of protecting minors' online personal information and the security risks they face, this paper provides directional guidance for the corresponding improvement measures proposed in the following thesis.
The second chapter focuses on the theoretical basis of providing legal protection for the minor network personal information. Based on the theory of the protection of personal information and the theory of the protection of minors, this thesis demonstrates the legitimacy of the legal protection of minors’ network personal information.
The third chapter, from the general legislation and special legislation of the two points of view, the system combing the current situation of the relevant legislation, the analysis has the legal predicament: At the level of age standard definition and verification of minors, there are
inconsistent age division standards for minors and age authenticity verification problems. At the level of guardian consent mechanism design, the preset premise of “consistent interests” is limited,
and guardians are prone to “consent fatigue” under the existing mechanism, and how to verify the true validity of consent has not been clear. At the level of regulation for network operators, network
operators should make clear that there are restrictions on the principle of purpose used when collecting personal information, and the provisions on the responsibilities and obligations of network operators are not sufficient and specific. Through the discovery and analysis of problems, it provides effective ideas and help for the solution in the following thesis.
The fourth chapter is based on the deficiency of Chinese legislation, based on the actual situation of our country, while referring to the advanced experience of overseas, targeted optimization path, to perfect the legal protection work of minor network personal information put forward suggestions: First, the construction of a single age as the boundary of the multi-level protection mechanism and multi-type age verification method; Second, according to different network scenarios to apply different degrees of guardian consent mode, improve the relevant legal provisions on guardian consent verification mode; Third, based on the principle of risk limitation, the regulatory regulations on network operators should be further refined from the two aspects of compliance obligations and legal liabilities.
