The rapid pace of digital transformation has made data protection and privacy crucial for society. Indonesia needs a personal data protection policy that can strike a balance between economic interests and innovation, as well as citizens’ right to privacy. The need to balance these two interests necessitates a Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) that incorporates data protection principles aligned with international standards, along with the necessary mechanisms to enforce the law.
This study conducted by the Tifa Foundation is an effort to support Indonesia in developing a Personal Data Protection Law that places the principle of protection at the center of innovation in this digital age. This study compares the draft of Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law with two international personal data protection instruments: the Council of Europe’s Convention 108+ and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Both instruments represent the latest international standards and serve as the primary references for privacy and personal data protection standards.
