Abstract

One of the objectives of the creation of Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection is for the public to understand Information about the clarity of identity, the basis of legal interests , the purpose of requests and use of Personal Data , and the accountability of parties requesting Personal Data. On the one hand, the presence of Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection in Indonesia is considered quite late with the quite rampant cases of misuse of personal data and personal data leaks . cases of misuse of personal data and personal data leaks are quite rampant in Indonesia, for example the problem of personal data leaks in the JKN application where as many as 279 million personal data of residents in BPJS Kesehatan were leaked due to failures in managing personal data security. In addition, there was the theft of consumer data of Tokopedia application users as much as ± 91 million user data, due to Tokopedia being hacked by hackers . From the description, it is known that the purpose of this study is to determine the legal protection model for personal data for JKN Mobile Application users from the perspective of Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection , and to encourage the immediate establishment of a Personal Data Protection Agency or Commission to address all issues of leaks and Illegal Access of Personal Data in Indonesia. The research method in this study is a normative juridical method using secondary data and descriptive analysis. The results show that both Indonesia and Thailand have demonstrated a commitment to protecting personal data by adopting a modern legal framework. Thailand's PDPA has advantages in terms of earlier implementation time and a more mature supervisory agency. Meanwhile, Indonesia's PDP Law is still in the early stages of implementation, with technical regulations being prepared, including the establishment of a special supervisory agency.
