The digital era in Indonesia has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, but it has also raised serious concerns regarding public privacy and data security. This study aims to examine the relationship between data security and the protection of human rights amid the rapid development of information technology. The methodology used is qualitative, with a focus on a literature review. The findings indicate that the concept of privacy has shifted to encompass the right to control one’s information, where leaks of personal data directly result in violations of respect for human dignity. Although the government has sought to establish regulations through the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) (Kurniawan 2021), issues related to infrastructure and cyber threats remain major challenges in achieving comprehensive digital security. This article was written to examine the challenges in protecting human rights in the era of rapidly advancing digitalization in Indonesia.
