Protection Of Privacy In Indonesia

With regard to private and family life in Indonesia, Article 28(G) of the 1945 Constitution provides that every person has the right to:

• Protection of their personal selves, families, respect, dignity and possessions under their control.
• Security and protection from threat of fear for doing, or not doing, something which constitutes a human right.

Article 28(G) is considered the basis for more specific data privacy legislation. However, there is no specific law in Indonesia that regulates respect for private and family life. As of the time of this writing, the most relevant regulations for the protection of privacy are related to personal data protection.
