With the new developments in information technologies, personal and business data have become easily accessible through different channels. The huge amounts of personal data across global networks and databases have provided crucial benefits in a scientific manner and many business opportunities, also in the meeting, incentive, convention, and exhibition (MICE) industry. In this chapter, the authors focus on the analysis of MICE industry with regards to the new regulation (GDPR) of personal data protection of all EU citizens and how the industry professionals can adapt their way of business in light of this new regulation. The authors conducted an online interview with five different meetings industry professionals to have more insight about the data produced with its content and new regulations applied to the industry. The importance of personal data privacy and protection is discussed, and the most suitable anonymization techniques for personal data privacy are proposed.

With the growing awareness regarding the importance of personal data protection, many countries have established laws and regulations to ensure data privacy and are supervising managements to comply with them. Although various studies have suggested compliance methods of the general data protection regulation (GDPR) for personal data, no method exists that can ensure the reliability and integrity of the personal data processing request records of a data subject to enable its utilization as a GDPR compliance audit proof for an auditor. In this paper, we propose a delegation-based personal data processing request notarization framework for GDPR using a private blockchain. The proposed notarization framework allows the data subject to delegate requests to process of personal data; the framework makes the requests to the data controller, which performs the processing. The generated data processing request and processing result data are stored in the blockchain ledger and notarized via a trusted institution of the blockchain network. The Hypderledger Fabric implementation of the framework demonstrates the fulfillment of system requirements and feasibility of implementing a GDPR compliance audit for the processing of personal data. The analysis results with comparisons among the related works indicate that the proposed framework provides better reliability and feasibility for the GDPR audit of personal data processing request than extant methods.

Abstract Protection of data privacy is a topic that is currently being discussed a lot. Globally, there are 132 countries that already have exclusive regulation regarding the protection of personal data, including Japan and South Korea. In Indonesia, the Personal Data Protection Bill (RUU PDP) has been included in the National Legislation Program. From the research conducted, it was found that Indonesia does not have any specific regulations regarding the protection of personal data. Furthermore, this paper also discussed the comparison between the personal data protection regulations in Japan and South Korea, so that further research can be made of what matters should be contained in the RUU PDP. The regulations in Japan and South Korea certainly have differences, but they basically contain the same things, such as principles, protection mechanisms, data subject rights, transfers to third countries, and sanctions. Keywords: Protection of Data Privacy; Japan; and South Korea. Abstrak Perlindungan data pribadi merupakan diskursus yang belakangan ini banyak dibicarakan. Secara global, terdapat 132 negara yang sudah memiliki pengaturan khusus mengenai perlindungan data pribadi, termasuk Jepang dan Korea Selatan. Di Indonesia, Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi (RUU PDP) telah masuk ke dalam Program Legislasi Nasional. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan, didapatkan hasil bahwa Indonesia belum memiliki pengaturan mengenai perlindungan data pribadi secara khusus. Selanjutnya, dibahas pula mengenai komparasi antara peraturan perlindungan data pribadi di Jepang dan Korea Selatan, agar selanjutnya dapat diteliti hal-hal apa saja yang seharusnya dimuat dalam RUU PDP. Pengaturan di Jepang dan Korea Selatan tentunya memiliki perbedaan, tetapi pada dasarnya memuat berapa hal yang sama seperti prinsip, mekanisme perlindungan, hak data subjek, transfer ke negara ketiga, serta sanksi. Kata Kunci: Perlindungan Data Pribadi; Jepang; dan Korea Selatan.

The protection of personal data in the cyberspace has been an issue of concern for quite some time. However, with the revolutions in information technology, big data and the internet of things, data privacy protection has become paramount in an era of free information flows. Considering this context, this research intends to shine a light on the experience of Brazil regarding data privacy protection, through the analysis of a brand new bill passed by Congress: the Brazilian General Personal Data Protection Act. Our assessment of the legislation was made from the perspective of a human rights-based approach to data, aiming to analyze both advancements, limitations and contradictions of the rights-discourse in the LGPD. Our main conclusions were that the (public and national) security rhetoric, also present in the bill, can create a state of exception regarding the processing of personal data of those considered “enemies of the state”, which may result in violations of fundamental rights and procedural guarantees.
