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.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.

Copyright protection of digital products in an open-source system has led to the emergence of copyleft against copyright. Copyleft licenses in open-source serve to impose limits on creations to protect creators' moral rights. At the same time, personal data protection is one part of personal rights amidst the advent of information technology. The development of copyleft products and licenses that usually take place online can potentially lead to violations that harm application developers’ personal data. This paper aimed to characterize copyleft as an antithesis of copyright and analyze legal protection on the open-source application developers' personal data. Using legal research, this paper showed that open-source licenses could consist of two categories. First, non-copyleft licenses in the form of permissive licenses, included in the software under it and are subject to copyright. Second, the copyleft license, which required licenses to modify and distribute copyleft products. This open-source license adopted a form of a standard contract and personal data protection in copyleft products through open-source sites were using a preventive and repressive way. This paper recommended a copyleft-based legal protection mechanism and creators' data by considering the comparative aspects of the copyleft and copyright concepts' characteristics to respect moral rights. KEYWORDS: Personal Data Protection, Indonesia’s Copyright Law, Copyleft License.

The article explores the legal consequences of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. The scope of personal data protection was taken as an example. The purpose of the article is to study and analyze the legal aspects of the termination of the UK's membership in the European Union, its impact on the cross-border transfer of personal data between the parties, as well as the development of legal regulation in this area. The article shows that, despite the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement, as well as the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, there is a complication of legal regulation, as well as the emergence of potential contradictions and threats to the interests of interested parties. The sphere of personal data protection clearly demonstrates that despite the desire for the sovereignization of legal regulation on the part of the UK, its legal system remains dependent on the legal order of the European Union. The UK's national regulation on personal data will be under constant monitoring by the competent EU authorities, which indirectly confirms the failure to achieve the goals of the full return of the UK's delegated sovereign powers. It is concluded that the EU Court of Justice still retains its jurisdiction over the United Kingdom, in particular, in connection with possibility to challenge decisions on adequacy, as well as through the adoption of its own practice on issues related to personal data protection.

Legal regulation of the use of personal data is essential in ensuring the quality of scientific research. Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union No. 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 «On the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data», repealing Directive 95/46/EC, aims to unify the standards governing the protection of human rights to privacy, certain conditions beyond. This novel, introduced by the Regulation in the EU legal framework, complements and updates the acquis communautaire achieved within the framework of Directive 95/46/EC on personal data protection. The Regulation establishes both general rules applicable to any type of personal data processing and special rules applicable to the analysis of certain categories of personal data, such as information obtained during clinical trials. This paper provides an overview of new standards (in force since May 2018) that regulate aspects of personal data processing in the context of research activities (personal health data, genetic, biometric information, etc.)

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. Keywords : Good corporate governance, consumer protection, personal data protection, telecommunication service

Right to (information) privacy and right to personal data protection have many common contact points. However, the very act of developing data protection, as a younger right into the sui generis right shows that these two rights are not the same and that there are differences between them, huge enough to make them separate legal rights. The main trigger for noticing their different nature, purpose and background and for development of the data protection into the separate right was the revolution in the information technology solutions. This IT progress, for the first time, enabled massive and relatively cheap operations with the personal data and brought not only concern about the security of the personal data, but also unbelievable business possibilities. It was the turning point for the codification of the data protection right which started from 1970ies, aiming to create separate rules and legislation which will understand the importance of not only of protecting personal data but of their regulated and lawful usage. Despite all what was said, there is still certain confusion regarding these two rights, mainly because in the initial phase of the massive usage of the new IT solutions, when the data protection legislation still wasn’t developed, information privacy right served as the only legal protection of the data protection right and the relationship between these two rights is complex even today and deserves to be further researched

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.

It came to the author’s attention that personal data collected or appropriated in the course of FinTech industry especially those that related to FinTech Peer to Peer Lending services are prone to misuse. The author, after perusing the prevailing laws regarding FinTech industry, concludes that a well-functioning system of rules has been put in place to regulate this industry. However, what is lacking is sufficient guarantee or protection of consumer’s personal data.  Available is the option to use a weak (administrative, civil or penal) sanction against alleged misuse or misappropriation of personal data.  To enhance better legal protection, the author suggests, that the government issue a special law on personal data protection, including establishing a a special governmental supervisory body to that purpose.
