Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law

Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law, enacted in 2022, is the country’s first comprehensive legislation focused on the protection of personal data. It establishes clear guidelines for organizations on how to collect, use, store, and process personal data, requiring explicit consent from individuals. The law mandates that organizations implement adequate security measures, ensure data confidentiality, and notify authorities and individuals in the event of a data breach. It also grants individuals rights to access, correct, and delete their data, while imposing penalties on businesses that fail to comply with the law’s provisions.
