Despite of being known as a generation that is lack on work ethic (Smith & Nichols, 2015), the millennials play an important part in Indonesian economy. It is being projected that in the year 2020 there will be around 63.5 millennials in Indonesia as productive population (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2019). This study aims to determine how good is their understanding about the online privacy awareness. Through an online questionnaire, some questions to determine their level of awareness in online privacy, their actions to set their privacy boundaries, and their behaviour towards data security in social media were asked. As a result, their good understanding about online privacy is being proven from their knowledge about the social media’s technological capacities and they also set some boundaries by sharing their personal information to more closed social circle. However, their comfortability on social media makes them difficult to know the potential risk of online data security problems.
