- Abstract
COVID-19’s New Normal situation has been leading to a huge increase in the collection of personal data. Widely and intensively used digital technologies have been an important feature of international responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. One interesting class of such technologies is the COVID-19 Contact Tracing App (CCTA). CCTA has been used to augment traditional public health interventions, including mapping population movement, tracing contacts of infected persons, and authorizing movement. Although this surveillance program enables public health interventions to mitigate the pandemic, it also raises concerns regarding users’ privacy violations. The purpose of this research is to analyze existing laws in personal data protection, especially related to CCTA in Indonesia. This research also examines both national as well as international legal frameworks about personal data protection. The type of this research is legal-normative research which has a descriptive-comparative nature. The result highlights two main points: (1) There is no legal umbrella regarding personal data protection in Indonesia; (2) The use of CCTA in Indonesia is still not effective. In a New Normal situation, cooperation between the government and the public is crucial. Thus, we conclude that revising the existing legal framework in this kind of situation is urgent in order to provide assurance and legal certainty and to earn public trust.
