Abstract

Personal data protection is very important in today's modern world. Personal data is
confidential and sensitive information about a person. In the personal data protection law, a
person's personal data must be protected from unauthorized access or misuse. However, the
question that arises is how is the protection of personal data of a deceased person regulated
in the personal data protection law? In fact, the protection of a deceased person's personal
data is actually also very important to consider. Even though the person has passed away,
their personal data must still be kept confidential as it can still be used by irresponsible
parties. In many countries, personal data protection laws regulate the protection of personal
data of deceased persons. In Indonesia, the protection of personal data of deceased persons
does not yet have a clear legal umbrella. The protection of the personal data of a deceased
person is important to prevent misuse of data that can harm the family or other living parties
and the state. The personal data of someone who has died can be used for bad purposes,
such as identity theft or fraud.
This research aims to find out and explain how the protection of personal data of a
deceased person in terms of respect for individual privacy. Even though the person is dead,
there is still a right to privacy that must be respected. In this case, the government and
related institutions must ensure that Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection also
covers the protection of personal data of deceased persons. In addition, it is important to
socialize and educate the public about the importance of protecting personal data, including
the personal data of deceased persons. Thus, the protection of personal data of deceased
persons is an important part of the overall protection of personal data. With clear
arrangements and firmness in maintaining the confidentiality of the personal data of
deceased individuals, it is hoped that it can prevent the misuse of personal data of deceased
individuals which can harm many parties including the state.
