Abstract
During the Covid-19 pandemic, online health services through applications or telemedicine have increased yearly. Many parties are involved in telemedicine to spread the confidentiality of information and patient privacy to various parties. Even though regulations and guidelines regarding telemedicine's implementation during the Covid-19 pandemic are established, personal data leakage still occurs. The problem discussed in this research is: How was telemedicine implemented in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic? And how is the regulation of privacy rights protection for patients who use telemedicine in Indonesia? This research uses a descriptive normative research method with a qualitative approach. The research results show various problems in Indonesia's telemedicine implementation during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially problems related to data protection regulation for telemedicine patients. Based on the author's analysis, no regulations regulate strict sanctions when the patient's data or medical records are not kept confidential. There is no explicit provision that threatens anyone who misuses the patient's data. Thus, it is necessary to have special regulations governing the protection of patients' privacy rights in the use of telemedicine in Indonesia, and Indonesian legislators need to continue the legislative process of the Personal Data Protection Bill.
