As a new type of biological information recognition technology, face recognition technology is widely used in social public management, business sservices and other fields. The collection and application of facial information of the face recognition technology has broken down the protection boundary of personal information by traditional laws. It will cause serious social security risks if unrestricted. Due to the absence of clear and comprehensive protective measures and protection systems, this paper puts forward three suggestions to improve the legal regulation of "face recognition" in China: formulate strict regulations on the access and application of face recognition technology; improve the punishment measures and remedy regulations for abusing face recognition technology; and further guide individuals, enterprises and industries to self-discipline.
