Perlindungan Privasi Individu dalam Penggunaan Face Recognition Tinjauan Hukum dan Etika

Abstract

This study discusses the protection of individual privacy in the use of Face Recognition (FR) technology in BPJS Kesehatan, with a focus on legal and ethical reviews. In Indonesia, the use of this technology is regulated by Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions, which emphasizes the importance of individual consent in the collection and use of personal data, including biometric data such as faces. However, practice on the ground shows that consent is often not obtained correctly, potentially threatening individual privacy. Real cases, such as misidentification by facial recognition systems used by the National Police, show serious risks to privacy rights and potential data misuse. Therefore, this study recommends the need for stricter regulations, transparency in the use of data, and public participation in policy-making related to FR technology.  With the right ethical measures, it is hoped that a balance between public safety and individual privacy protection can be achieved in the ever-evolving digital era.
