Citizens' personal information, closely related to various elements of society such as politics and economy, has a profound impact on social development and is an important social resource. However, the advancement of network technology has led to an increasing number of personal information leaks, which urgently need to be addressed. This article focuses on the legal issues of personal information protection, explores the definition of personal information and its relationship with related concepts such as personal privacy and personal data. Through comparative analysis of personal information protection legal systems in China, the European Union, the United States, Russia, and other countries, the article particularly examines the relevant legislation and practices in Uzbekistan. The study finds that while there are differences in personal information protection across countries, all face new challenges brought by technological development. It is recommended to improve Uzbekistan's personal information protection legal system, strengthen international cooperation, and raise public awareness to meet the demands of personal information protection in the digital age.
