Abstract

The transformation of digital public services in Indonesia increases the processing of personal data and raises issues of legal certainty, governance, and accountability. This research aims to analyze the adequacy of legal protection of personal data in the transformation of digital public services. The research uses normative juridical methods with legislative, conceptual, and case approaches. Data is collected through the study of documents on laws and regulations, policies, rulings, and legal literature without involving respondents or informants, then analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation and regulatory synchronization. The results show that substantive personal data protection has strengthened, but governance fragmentation, weak supervision, unequal compliance, and limited rights restoration are still obstacles. The research concludes that regulatory harmonization, independent oversight, the implementation of privacy from design, and strengthening accountability are needed to ensure legal certainty and protection of people's rights.
