<![CDATA[Online loan application services have generated numerous complaints regarding the unauthorized and non-consensual dissemination of personal data by online loan providers without notice and without the owner's permission. Consequently, it is important to study the legal protection of borrowers' personal data in online loan applications, as well as the sanctions for personal data breaches.

The study results indicate that legal protection and sanctions for personal data breaches have been regulated in Law No. 11 of 2008 and its amendments concerning Electronic Information and Transactions.

Sanctions for personal data breaches are regulated in Article 47 paragraph (1), which include written warnings, monetary obligations, fines, business activity restrictions, and permit revocation.]]>
