- The Indonesian Government and House of Representatives (“DPR”) have officially commenced deliberations of the Draft Bill on Private Data Protection (“Draft Bill”) at a Level I Discussion Work Meeting.
- The Minister of Communications and Informatics, Johnny G. Plate, is hopeful that the DPR will further determine a schedule for the deliberations and has ordered each faction to draw up a problem inventory list. Mr. Plate has also stated that he expects the Draft Bill to be the first law enacted during the 2020 legislative period.
- In essence, the Draft Bill emphasizes three points in relation to the protection of personal data, specifically: 1) Data sovereignty; 2) Protections for data owners and their respective rights; and 3) Obligations of personal data users. The Draft Bill is expected to become the country’s primary framework for personal data protection and to replace various personal data-related provisions which are currently scattered across 31 different regulations.
- The Draft Bill represents the government’s attempt to ensure the rights of Indonesian citizen’s in relation to private data protection. Furthermore, the government is hopeful that in the wake of the promulgation of the Draft Bill any misuses and abuses of personal data will result in the imposition of sanctions. (Kominfo)
