Consent and privacy law in Indonesia

Indonesia enacted its first comprehensive Personal Data Protection Law, Law No. 27 of 2022, with a two year transition period that ended in late 2024, and a dedicated supervisory agency is being established. The law is modelled on the GDPR, with lawful bases, data subject rights, breach notification within 72 hours, and the appointment of data protection officers in certain cases. Consent must be explicit and recorded, and processing of children's data needs parental consent. Administrative fines can reach 2 percent of annual revenue, and there are criminal penalties for unlawful collection or disclosure. Notices in Bahasa Indonesia are expected. Cookies that identify users are personal data.
