This data is collected on the basis of your consent (when you submit the form) and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making, profiling, or direct marketing without your explicit consent. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

4. Data Sharing

We do not share personal data with third parties except in the following circumstances:

6. Data Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify you and, where required, relevant authorities, within the timeframes required by applicable Thai data protection law.
