The development of technology, communication, and the internet has positive and negative influences on all sectors of life in society. One of the negative impacts and problems is the alleged criminal act of buying and selling data and the absence of a special law (lex specialist) regarding the regulation of Indonesian personal data. The purpose of this research is to analyze in-depth the efforts to strengthen the protection of personal data, cyber security, and increase public awareness of the perspective of Progressive Law in Indonesia. This study uses a normative juridical method using secondary data, a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach. This scientific paper concludes that the Synergy of Ministries and related institutions (Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary) is the key to protecting personal data and cyber resilience. Then, strengthening efforts should be made, namely immediately passing the Draft Law on Personal Data Protection (RUU PDP), forming an independent institution. However, if at this time a dispute occurs, it can be resolved by Article 30 of the ITE Law and the PMH Lawsuit (Tort), supported by a progressive legal approach and futuristic interpretation by the judge examining the quo case. The synergy of government agencies, the private sector, and other stakeholders is needed to increase public awareness by increasing education/dissemination of efforts to prevent misuse of personal data.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the extent of the application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) and protection of personal data from the point of view of consumers in telecommunications service companies. The case study analyzed the misuse of used telephone card data in a telecommunications service company PT. Z. The empirical judicial method was used in this study. This legal research was carried out by  examining documents (document studies), using 2 (two) approaches, the statute approach and the conceptual approach. Primary data were collected through surveys and interviews to prove the findings in the first stage. The results of the study, on the legal aspects showed that the legal protection for consumers as users of telecommunications services has not been fully implemented by PT. Z according to Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 36 of 1999 concerning Telecommunications. Consumer perceptions indicate that PT. Z has not implemented GCG principles properly. Consumer responses to aspects of consumer personal data protection related to the above cases are also not good and tend to be detrimental to consumers. This research showed that the application of GCG principles is not optimal and has an impact on weak aspects of consumer protection. For the implementation of GCG in the future, PT. Z should have good intentions in running its business and provide correct, complete and clear information related to the products it trades, both spoken and written.

The discourse on personal data protection has been developed for a long time, even before the advent of internet technology. In the Indonesian context, issues relating to the personal data protection have begun to develop in recent years, responding to the increasingly rapid development of digital technology. Currently the Personal Data Protection Bill is again included in the 2021 Priority National Legislation Program in response to the importance of regulations relating to personal data protection in Indonesia. The fundamental thing that often escapes the discourse on the personal data protection in Indonesia is related to how personal data is positioned in a constitutional perspective based on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia if personal data is considered as something that must be protected. This research specifically answered the questions: (a) how is the conceptual interpretation of personal data? (b) how is personal data positioned in the perspective of the Indonesian constitution? This research is a normative juridical research, conducted by analyzing secondary data obtained through literature review. The results of this research indicated that the conceptual interpretation of personal data is still a growing discourse. As for personal data in the perspective of the Indonesian constitution, it can be seen by looking at the legal-historical aspect in the discussion of the amendments to the 1945 Constitution, especially in Article 28G paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia which is hypothesized as a reference for personal data protection.

This study aimed to analyze the legal protection arrangements in Indonesia for privacy rights in cases of personal data leakage and to examine the urgency of the establishment of the Personal Data Protection Law as an effort to prevent personal data leakage. This study used a normative juridical research approach, the type of data was secondary data with data collection techniques in the form of library research and documentation studies. The results of this study are that the privacy right gets legal protection in Indonesia through Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, also regulated in its implementing regulations, namely Government Regulation Number 71 of 2019 and Regulation of the Minister of Communication and Information Technology Number 20 of 2016. The regulation has not been able to overcome the rampant cases of privacy rights violations and has not been able to protect the owner of personal data. The stipulation of a personal data protection law as an effort to combat the leakage of personal data is an urgent matter to meet the demands of information disclosure in government institutions and protect individual rights concerning collection, processing, maintenance, dissemination of personal data.

The arrangement of personal data protection in national law is stipulated explicitly in the regulation of the Minister of the Ministry of communication and  Informasi  No. 20 of 2016 on the protection of personal data. In Indonesia, there are no rules that accommodate the protection of personal data on financial technology. That can be hazardous when the economic response of technology is not limited to its use. The case of personal data is not contained in the case of a Such hazard that may arise. The case from the theft of personal data, damage to the system that may allow the occurrence of data breaches, misuse of personal data that has been the business ruled itself, or other parties who may access personal consumer data (such as government). The need to set this up is important because private data is a person's privacy right. Still, it can fundamentally be economically valuable for a third party who is about to take advantage of it.

AbstractThe right to privacy is a personal right of every individual which must be protected by the state in accordance with the mandate of the constitution. Along with the development of information and communication technology, the discourse regarding the right to privacy has come under the spotlight again given the high intensity of personal data utilization, especially by corporations in the digital business era. This research will further analyze the use of consumer personal data by corporations from a legal perspective. The research method used is library research through a statute approach. The results of this study indicate that there is still obesity in regulations related to personal data protection in Indonesia, where the total reaches 30 regulations in various sectors. Moreover, this reality is exacerbated by the inadequacy of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) in conducting surveillance and investigations related to personal data protection. The result of all of this is the creation of legal loopholes that are often exploited to carry out crimes in the form of hacking and theft of personal data that harm consumers and the wider community. Therefore, there is a need for legal reform accompanied by a reconception of supervisory agencies regarding the protection of personal data as an integral part of upholding privacy rights in an era of constitutional disruption. Keywords: Personal Data Protection, Privacy Rights, Corporation, Constitution. AbstrakHak privasi merupakan hak pribadi setiap individu yang wajib dilindungi oleh negara sesuai dengan amanat konstitusi. Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi, diskursus perihal hak privasi kembali mendapat sorotan mengingat tingginya intensitas pemanfaatan data pribadi, terutama oleh korporasi di era bisnis digital. Penelitian kali ini akan menganalisa lebih jauh terkait penggunaan data pribadi konsumen oleh korporasi dari perspektif hukumnya. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masih terjadinya obesitas regulasi terkait perlindungan data pribadi Di Indonesia, dimana totalnya mencapai 30 Undang-Undang di berbagai sektor. Terlebih, realita tersebut semakin diperburuk dengan tidak optimalnya Kementrian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) dalam melakukan pengawasan dan investigasi terkait perlindungan data pribadi. Akibat dari semua itu ialah terciptanya celah hukum yang kerap kali dieksploitasi untuk melancarkan kejahatan berupa peretasan dan pencurian data pribadi yang merugikan konsumen serta masyarakat dalam cakupan yang lebih luas. Oleh karena itu, diperlukannya reformasi hukum yang diiringi dengan rekonsepsi lembaga pengawas terkait perlindungan data pribadi sebagai bagian integral dari penegakan hak privasi di era disrupsi berdasarkan konstitusi. Kata kunci: Perlindungan Data Pribadi, Hak Privasi, Korporasi, Konstitusi.

The right to privacy is one of the fundamental human rights that serves to realize a man as a social being and protect the private spheres of their life. Even though this right can be looked at in different ways, due to the modern development of information and communication technologies, it is largely related to personal data and their availability to other persons. In that sense, the right to privacy is also protected via personal data protection. The basis for such protections in Serbian law has already been implemented in the Constitution of Serbia, and by adopting a new Personal Data Protection Law, the legislator has shown their determination to intensify and expand that protection. As it relates to criminal justice protection, a separate criminal offence of unauthorized collection of personal data is prescribed in Article 146 of the Criminal Code. The authors of this scientific paper will try to expose the threat to the right to privacy and personal data, and to give a clearer picture of how criminal justice protection of these values is realized in the Serbian law by presenting the elements of the aforementioned crime.

The subject of this research is the international regulation of ensuring confidentiality of personal data. The development of “big data” technologies made it evident that for solution of the problem of ensuring rights of an individual as a subject of personal data it is essential to coordinate efforts of interested countries pertaining to the development of effective measures of legal protection. The practice demonstrated that protection of personal data requires a universal approach, which is currently possible within the framework of regional integration that ensure harmonization of legislation through formulation of criteria suitable for the participating countries. However, their own rules in protection of personal data also have the countries of Latin America being a part of international organization the “Ibero-American Data Protection Network”, as well as the countries of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. This article analyzes the international documents developed by the aforementioned organizations from legal and comparative-legal perspective. Assessment is given to the achieved results and development prospect of legal regulation pertaining to collection and processing of personal data. It is concluded that the European organizations are undisputable leaders in establishment of strict control in the sphere of personal data protection, and the documents developed by them are viewed as reference. The concept of “personal data” itself also experiences transformations, acquiring a more extensive interpretation. The rules for collection and processing of personal data that are developed by the participants independently, if coordinated with the legislatively established requirements, obtain substantial significance. Strengthening of control over intergovernmental exchange of personal data is also not excluded.
