GAGASAN PELINDUNGAN DATA PRIBADI OLEH LPPDP INDONESIA: SEBUAH STUDI PERBANDINGAN DENGAN OTORITAS PELINDUNGAN DATA PRIBADI SINGAPURA

THE NOTION OF PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION BY INDONESIA'S LPPDP: A COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH THE SINGAPORE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AUTHORITY

Abstract

This research aims to design an ideal Personal Data Protection Implementing Agency (LPPDP) model for Indonesia, by referring to the best practices of data protection agencies in other countries, particularly Singapore. Increasing digital activities and cyberattacks, especially in the government sector, have highlighted the urgency of personal data protection in Indonesia. Although the Law on Personal Data Protection has been passed, the absence of LPPDP as an independent oversight institution is an obstacle to data protection law enforcement and supervision. Through a normative and comparative legal approach, this research compares the design of LPPDP with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and Smart Nation and Digital Government Group (SNDGG) in Singapore. The results show that LPPDP needs to be established as an independent institution with strong authority in law enforcement and comprehensive supervision. The PDPC and SNDGG models can be a reference in establishing an effective institution in Indonesia. Thus, the establishment of LPPDP is expected to improve personal data protection, provide legal certainty, and build public trust in data governance in Indonesia.
