The Relevance of Personal Data to Trade Secrets Reviewed from the Trade Secrets Act
Abstract
The connection of personal data as business information must receive protection based on the definition of trade secret as explained in Article 1 point 1 of Law no. 30 of 2000. Legal protection of personal data which is considered business information can be carried out by referring to Law no. 30 of 2000 concerning Trade Secrets and regulations governing Personal Data in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical with a problem approach to legislation and a conceptual approach. Sources of legal materials used include primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Management of legal materials is carried out qualitatively to answer the problems faced. Analysis of the relationship between trade secrets and personal data in this research was carried out by considering the elements of information, economic value and confidentiality as regulated in Article 1 of Law no. 30 of 2000. Confidentiality must be maintained and requires permission from the owner. Individual personal data, including consumer lists, is business information that has economic value because it supports business policy making. Misuse of this data can endanger the information controller. When personal data leaks occur, economic value and related confidentiality can be threatened. The research results show that acts of misuse of personal data can be subject to sanctions based on Articles 13 and 14 of the Trade Secrets Law and Article 32 paragraphs (1) and (3) of the ITE Law.
