This study aims to analyze the inequality of personal data protection for vulnerable groups in the context of digital transformation. The scope includes communities with low digital literacy, remote areas, the elderly, and informal sector workers. The methods used are literature study, policy analysis, survey analysis, and case studies. Data were taken from 94 cases of personal data leaks from 2019–2023, with the majority coming from private electronic system organizers. The findings show that data protection tends to be a luxury item that is only enjoyed by empowered groups. According to the data, there were 35 cases of leaks in 2023 alone. This study also proposes a social justice-based governance model to address structural inequality for vulnerable groups.

Based on the established research objectives, it can be concluded that this inequality is a structural symptom exacerbated by a lack of digital literacy, legal infrastructure, and public awareness.The findings confirm that personal data protection in Indonesia is still exclusive and unequal, particularly for vulnerable groups lacking equal access to technology and information.This study recommends establishing more inclusive policies through systematic public education, independent oversight institutions, and revisions to data protection regulations with a distributive justice approach.

Further research should investigate the specific digital literacy levels and access barriers faced by different vulnerable groups in Indonesia, such as the elderly and informal workers, to tailor targeted interventions. Additionally, a comparative study examining the effectiveness of various data protection models – including the GDPR and those implemented in countries like Finland and Sweden – in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations could provide valuable insights for policy development. Finally, research is needed to explore the role of community-based organizations and local leaders in promoting data privacy awareness and empowering vulnerable communities to exercise their digital rights, potentially through participatory action research methods. These studies should collectively aim to inform the creation of a more equitable and inclusive digital ecosystem in Indonesia, ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status or digital proficiency, can benefit from the opportunities offered by the digital age while being adequately protected from its risks.
