Safeguarding Privacy in an Interconnected World: Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law
DOI
Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has brought unprecedented opportunities alongside significant challenges, particularly concerning personal data protection. This article provides a comprehensive review of the evolving landscape of personal data protection, with a specific focus on Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP) and its comparison with international benchmarks, notably the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Drawing upon recent academic literature, this paper examines the impact of data protection legislation on various sectors, including financial services and telemedicine, and discusses critical aspects such as public awareness, law enforcement, and the establishment of independent data protection authorities. The analysis highlights the complexities of implementing data protection in the big data era and underscores the continuous need for robust legal frameworks and public literacy to safeguard individual privacy rights in an increasingly interconnected world.
