Abstract

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has intensified the utilization and exchange of data, raising complex legal issues concerning contractual governance and legal certainty. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing data utilization contracts and to explore the urgency of developing standardized data contracts in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical approach with a statutory and conceptual analysis, this research examines existing regulations, legal doctrines, and comparative practices related to data governance in digital transactions. The study reviews legal developments and contractual practices in the digital sector over recent years. The findings indicate that the absence of standardized contractual frameworks creates legal uncertainty and imbalance among parties. Therefore, the development of standardized data contracts is essential to enhance legal certainty, fairness, and accountability in Indonesia’s digital economy.
