Abstract:
This research was conducted in order to examine how the protection of personal data in Indonesia, the problem that exists today is that not many people understand how their rights are. And until now with the development of the digital world that requires users to provide their personal data, not coupled with the protection they have, it is evident from the many data leaked in the retail field. By using historical research methods to review how existing laws up to date and also accompanied by comparability with EU countries that already have GDPR, even though Indonesia currently has ministerial regulations relating to the protection of personal data, but based on research conducted by the state still requires laws that specifically regulate the protection of personal data so that they are aligned with other countries and allow cooperation between countries with equal law. In the absence of this law, the thing
that can be done right now is cooperation between the parties related to education, protection, internal regulation and also commitment. Another problem that exists is the sanctions provided in the event of data leakage, it will be difficult to analyze the mistakes made by the organizer especially related to crimes committed by hackers, therefore the authors suggest that strict laws be given regarding how personal data should be protected.
