MENJAGA PRIVASI DI ERA DIGITAL PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP DATA PRIBADI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

The digital era has brought significant convenience in the management and exchange of data, but it has also increased the risk of privacy violations and personal data breaches. In Indonesia, several major incidents such as the Bank Syariah Indonesia data breach, IndiHome data leak, and the ransomware attack on the Temporary National Data Center (PDNS) highlight the urgent need for stronger personal data protection. Personal data has become a valuable asset that is vulnerable to theft, misuse, and privacy violations, thus requiring clear and firm legal safeguards. The Indonesian government has responded by enacting Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection as an effort to build a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem. However, the implementation of this law still faces various challenges, including the need for derivative regulations, effective law enforcement, regulatory synchronization, and low public literacy. Personal data protection must be a shared responsibility among the government, private sector, and society. Strengthening digital security systems, increasing literacy, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are crucial to ensure that citizens’ privacy rights are optimally protected in the digital transformation era.
