Ministry of Communication and Information Technology Issues Statement on Eight Important Aspects of PDP Bill

The passing of Bill on Personal Data Protection ("PDP Bill") by the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat – "DPR") last September has been met with a positive response as Indonesia finally has a comprehensive legal framework that specifically addresses the vital issue of data protection. Chairperson of the Team for the Governance of Personal Data Protection at the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology ("Ministry"), Hendri Sasmita Yuda, issued a statement recently asserting that the general public should not fear the new PDP Bill.
The Ministry has also outlined eight important aspects which are expected to be accommodated alongside the promulgation of the PDP Bill, as follows: 1) The presence of the state in protecting the fundamental rights of citizens; 2) The creation of a more comprehensive, suitable and forward-looking legal umbrella; 3) Governance which essentially encourages the reform of personal data processing practices, as implemented by all personal data controllers (both within the public and private sectors); 4) Economics and business as they relate to the PDP Bill in order to improve industry standards, offer adequate responses to consumer needs and demands, and increase value and competitiveness; 5) Technology, which should seek to encourage ethical, responsible and respectful innovations relating to human rights; 6) Culture, specifically bringing about a change in the habits of the general public so that they develop a greater awareness of issues pertaining to the protection and maintenance of personal data and fully respect the rights of other persons; 7) Human resources, by encouraging the development of ecosystems through new human resource talents; and 8) International relations, in order to strengthen trust and the overall recognition of Indonesia's leadership in terms of global data governance.
The government hopes that the PDP Bill will ultimately become the legal basis for certain basic areas that involve the protection of the personal data of Indonesian citizens, as well as being the first step on a long journey towards establishing a high-quality personal data regime for Indonesia.
