Chapter 5. Handling of personal information of Thai residents

1. Introduction

Chapter 5 explains the collection, use, or disclosure (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “handling” in this Chapter) of personal information belonging to customers who reside in the Kingdom of Thailand (“Thailand”) in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act of Thailand B.E. 2562 (A.D. 2019) (“PDPA”).
If consent is required for handling of personal information relevant to the use of the Company’s services, etc. of a customer who is a minor, person with limited (qualified) legal capacity or legally incapacitated person under the law of Thailand and cannot lawfully give consent by themselves, consent or permission of the person exercising parental power, or the customer’s guardian or custodian (as the case may be), must also be obtained in addition to the consent of the customer. If the customer is under the age of 10, only the consent or permission of the person exercising parental power must be obtained.
If the Company is not aware that the customer is a minor, person with limited (qualified) legal capacity or legally incapacitated person prior to the collection of their personal information, upon learning that we have collected personal information of a minor without the consent of the person exercising parental power (when it is required and the minor cannot lawfully give consent by themselves), or from a person with limited (qualified) legal capacity or legally incapacitated person without the consent of their guardian and custodian, we will delete the personal information at the earliest convenience unless we can rely on other legal grounds apart from consent for such handling.
The customer’s consent to this Privacy Policy must be obtained even in the event that a family member of the customer, or an agent authorized to act on the customer’s behalf, applies for the Company’s service, etc. on behalf of the customer.
In the event that any provisions of this Chapter 5 contradict those of Chapter 1, the provisions of Chapter 5 shall prevail.

2. Controller of personal information

The Company is the controller of the customer’s personal information.
In accordance with the PDPA, the Company safeguards the personal information that is collected and used via controllers (i.e. those who decide the method and purpose for handling the customer’s personal information) and handlers (those who act according to the written directions of controllers).

3. Legal basis for handling personal information

In accordance with the PDPA, the Company safeguards the customer’s personal information by handling it only within the scope required for a specific purpose of use (as provided in Chapter 1, “3. Purpose of using personal information”).
The Company handles the customer’s personal information according to the following legal bases.

  • If the customer consents to the handling (PDPA, Article 19): Consent normally only applies to handling related to promotions and marketing, as well as, depending on the situation, handling related to sensitive information.
  • When necessary to take measures for the purpose of performing or concluding a contract (PDPA, Article 24 (3)): This normally serves as a basis for handling customer information (such as the customer’s identity, contact information, payment information, or itinerary) that is absolutely essential for the Company to provide a service, etc.
  • If the Company must handle the information to comply with a legal obligation (PDPA, Article 24 (6)): This includes the sharing of personal information with bodies such as customs authorities, immigration agencies, and law enforcement agencies, legal obligations to customers or employees of the Company, etc.
  • If there is a medical emergency or other need to safeguard the life of the customer or a third party (PDPA, Article 24 (2)).
  • If the Company or a third party must handle personal information for the purpose of legitimate interests, and the basic rights relating to the customer’s personal information under laws and regulations do not supersede these interests. (PDPA, Article 24 (5))

This includes the use of personal information necessary for operating the Company’s business, as well as the use of personal information necessary to maintain, develop, and improve the Company’s products and services and to provide the customer with the best experience, within the scope permitted by the PDPA.

4. Requests concerning the handling of personal information

  • The PDPA recognizes the following legal rights for the customer.
    • A) Requests for disclosure
      The customer may request a copy of the customer’s personal information in the possession of the Company and details on its handling.
    • B) Requests for corrections and updates
      After reviewing the request, corrections and updates shall be performed, if possible.
    • C) Requests for deletion
      The customer may request the full or partial deletion, destruction or anonymization of the customer’s personal information in the possession of the Company. Upon reviewing the request, the Company shall delete the information if the information is unnecessary or the law precludes the continued storage of the information.
    • D) Forwarding personal information
      The customer may request a copy of personal information that is structured and in a generally machine-readable format. The request to forward personal information may be made only with respect to personal information obtained from the customer by the Company that is handled by automated means based on the consent of the customer or for the purpose of performing a contract.
    • E) Formal objections to handling
      The customer may voice an objection to handling that is for the legitimate interests of the Company or a third party, or handling that is for the purpose of direct marketing. The Company shall discontinue the handling of the customer’s information, provided that the handling for the legitimate interests of the Company or a third party does not have a provable legitimate basis that prioritizes the interests of the customer. If the customer’s objection is against direct marketing, the Company shall discontinue handling.
    • F) Limitations on methods of using personal information
      The customer may limit the use of the customer’s personal information by the Company under specific circumstances. If a limitation is applied, the handling of the customer’s personal information (excluding storage) shall be performed legitimately, provided that the customer’s consent is obtained or that doing so is necessary for a legal claim, protecting specified rights, or for the sake of an important public good.
    • G) Right to withdraw consent
      If the customer’s personal information is handled with consent, the customer possesses the right to withdraw consent at any time. However, the withdrawal of consent shall not retroactively affect the handling of the customer’s personal information for which they had already legally consented prior to the withdrawal of such consent.
    • Note that the aforementioned right is not absolute and that it does not necessarily apply to all situations. In addition, depending on the circumstances, if a legal exception applies, then a request may be refused. If a request is refused, the reason therefore shall be provided with the response.
      Records of requests to the Company shall be kept so as to enable confirmation of the Company’s compliance with legal obligations.

If the request is especially complex or there are multiple requests, a detailed response may take time. In addition, please note that there are exceptions to the aforementioned rights and there may be cases in which rights cannot be exercised.
    If the customer is not satisfied with the Company’s response to a request, or if it is believed that personal information has been handled inappropriately, the customer possesses the right to file a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Committee of Thailand.
