The advancement of digital technology has heightened the role of electronic evidence in law enforcement, particularly in cybercrime cases. However, the seizure of electronic evidence often triggers conflicts between the needs of law enforcement and the protection of personal data. This study aims to analyze the harmonization of Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (PDP Law) and Law No. 1 of 2024 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) in the context of electronic evidence seizure. Using a normative juridical method and a statutory approach, the study finds that the principles of minimality, transparency, and accountability in the PDP Law can complement the seizure procedures outlined in the ITE Law. Nonetheless, regulatory gaps, including the lack of technical guidelines and oversight mechanisms, remain and must be addressed to balance privacy rights and law enforcement
