Abstract

These days, crimes against personal data are not uncommon in society, necessitating a legal foundation to provide legal protection for individuals' privacy rights. The enactment of the Personal Data Protection Act brings a breath of fresh air to the community, but its comprehensive implementation is still not possible due to the absence of an authorized institution under this law.
