Employee Data Privacy in Indonesia

There is no law or regulation in Indonesia that specifically regulates the collection, use or handling of an applicant's personal data, including protection of the privacy of an employee's particulars. The Indonesian Minister of Communication and Informatics (MOCI) relatively recently issued MOCI Regulation No. 20 of 2016 regarding the Protection of Personal Data in Electronic Systems (MOCI Reg 20), which stipulates the protections afforded to personal data stored in an electronic system.

While there is no regulation that stipulates the protection of non-electronic personal data, generally, all persons have a general right to privacy under the Indonesian Human Rights Law.
