THE CHALLENGES OF PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND PUBLIC INFORMATION DISCLOSURE IN INDONESIA By Ridea Oktavia Published in ALSA Law Review Magazine Vol. 9 Issue No. 1
This paper discusses the challenges of protecting personal data and public information disclosure in Indonesia. This paper examines extensively the challenges in ensuring the protection of personal data in Indonesia. This article will give readers an understanding of how important it is to maintain personal privacy in order to avoid the impact of the misuse of personal data which is very detrimental to the victim. The research undertaken to compile this paper is normative juridical research, based on primary data in the form of legislation, namely the Republic of Indonesia Law 1945 and the Law on Public Information Openness, and the secondary data, namely academic papers and journals. The data analysis was carried out by using a qualitative approach, namely the analysis that was formed indirectly in the form of statements and writing. Conclusions are drawn using deductive logic by analyzing the challenges of protecting personal data and their relation to public openness. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the main challenge of protecting personal data lies in public understanding and awareness of the privacy data itself. The openness of public information basically has an objective that is mutually exclusive from and complementary to the protection of personal data, even though in its implementation there are clashes, therefore it is important to harmonize the regulations, both on the side of personal data protection and on the side of openness of public informationso that it does not conflict in the future.
