[Webinar] Navigating Uncharted Waters -- Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law and AI Regulation

With the grace period for Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law (PDP law) expiring in October 2024, businesses face real compliance consequences. Yet, significant challenges remain. As of early December 2024, the anticipated Data Protection Authority (DPA) has not yet been established, and the law’s draft implementing regulations are still pending.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is beginning to explore laws governing AI, adding another layer of complexity for companies navigating the regulatory environment. The Asian Business Law Institute returns to examine the digital regulatory landscape in Indonesia following successful sessions in the past. This session is expected to cover, among others:

• New developments concerning the PDP law, including expectations for the DPA and the implementing regulations, and criminal cases being processed under the PDP law;
• How businesses can navigate the PDP law amid the uncertainties mentioned and respond quickly when new developments take place; and
• An overview of existing AI regulations in Indonesia and what to expect going forward

When is this webinar scheduled?

This webinar will take place between 3pm and 4:10pm (Singapore time) on Thursday, 27 March 2025.

Please be mindful of time difference if you are joining from outside of Singapore.

What if I am unable to attend this webinar after registration? Are the fees paid refundable?

Unfortunately, the payments made are not refundable. If you are unable to attend the webinar, we request that you let us know as soon as possible so that we can let you transfer your slot to a colleague.

I am interested in this webinar but unable to make it for the live session. If I register, will a recording be made available to me?

Yes, a recording of the webinar can be made available upon request via a private link, though it is important to bear in mind that viewing the recording will not entitle you to any public CPD points. In principle, we only provide recording upon request by a paid attendee.

Will the materials presented at the webinar be made available to attendees?

The materials can be made available to attendees if the speakers so consent as they are the copyright owners of their presentation materials. Those who wish to receive such materials are advised to write to [email protected] after the webinar for more information.

I want to sign up for the webinar but my organisation requires registration to be done by other means, such as by sending an invoice to a dedicated portal. How do I register in this case?

In principle, your registration for the webinar is only confirmed after payment is made online. However, if you need to pay against a manual invoice by bank transfer or other means, or if you are from a Singapore government agency that uses a central invoicing system, please write to [email protected] so that ABLI can arrange an alternative way of registration for you, taking your needs into consideration.

Does this webinar contain any Mandatory Ethics Component (MEC)?

No, this webinar does not have any MEC component.

I am a practitioner qualified in a jurisdiction other than Singapore. Will attending this webinar entitle me to claim relevant CPD-equivalent points in my own jurisdiction?

The answer to this question depends on the rules of the relevant governing body in your jurisdiction. In the past, we have issued letters of attendance accompanied by actual Zoom log-in records to assist non-Singapore-qualified attendees to claim their professional learning points. Therefore, if a letter of attendance and a Zoom record are all you need, we will be able to help. Likewise, we have issued the same set of documents to professionals other than lawyers who may also have such continuing education requirements.

However, if the rules of your jurisdiction require an event to be accredited, we regret that this session will not entitle you to claim points outside of Singapore.

Who can I contact if I have more questions?

Please write to [email protected] for any other query you may have about this webinar.
