The start-up has received considerable attention in the last few years. While the National Research Council of Canada has generated many start-ups over its 88-year history, the creation of a formal entrepreneurship programme in the mid-1990s dramatically accelerated the pace at which they were created. Many factors come into play in the decision to select an appropriate commercialization vehicle. While the strength and scale of the business opportunity are key factors, as are the people involved and the status of the intellectual property, there are many other internal and external factors that must be taken into consideration. This article explores these factors and discusses the risks and benefits of the start-up as a commercialization vehicle.

The E-Commerce progress during the Covid-19 pandemic, has had an impact on the emergence of many startup companies such as Tokopedia, Gojek, Traveloka, and Bukalapak. There are legal problems caused by the emergence of these start-ups. One of the serious problems it causes is maintaining consumer privacy from start-up companies. A large number of applications are used, making it easier for companies to obtain their consumers' data. This raises the possibility of leakage of consumer personal data, the possibility that will arise needs to be considered regarding the guarantee of transaction security and privacy, namely the protection of consumer personal data which can cause problems in the future if data leaks occur. The discussion in this article is how the problems with consumer personal data in start-up companies are and how important the Law on personal data protection is as an effort to protect consumer personal data for start-up companies. However, Indonesia still does not have a law that specifically regulates the protection of personal data, where this law is urgently needed at this time as a legal umbrella for the people of Indonesia.
