Personal data protection in Indonesia is principally governed by Law No. 27 of 2022, commonly referred to as the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL). The Indonesia House of Representatives passed the Personal Data Protection Bill on 20 September 2022, and the PDPL subsequently entered into force on 17 October 2022. A two-year grace period is provided for organizations to comply, which means that the PDPL becomes fully enforceable on 17 October 2024.

The law will have an extraterritorial application for international organizations that handle Indonesian citizens’ data or perform data processing acts that have consequences within Indonesia or in relation to Indonesian citizens. Processing involves collecting, analyzing, storing, transferring, or deleting personal data belonging to Indonesian citizens.

It places major obligations upon organizations to ensure their activities comply with the law’s provisions. The PDPL provides a transition period of two years for both data controllers and data processors to adjust their data handling and processing methods in accordance with the new law.
