Thailand PDPA
Personal Data Protection Act
Following the lead of the EU, Thailand has enacted the PDPA, or Personal Data Protection Act. After a delay of one year due to Covid-19, the law will go into effect in June of 2021. Based on the EU’s law, companies in Thailand that collect, process, distribute, transmit or transform personal data are now subject to certain regulations governed by the PDPA.
All companies handling personal data are required to be in compliance, even if you are just collecting emails for mailing lists. And if there is a data breach and you are found to be out of compliance the penalties can be harsh. Compass IT Solutions’ team can provide consultations and audits, ensuring your hardware and software, are safe as possible potential data breaches and we will work with you to develop data privacy policies that conform to the new data privacy regulations.
In addition, we work with some of the best lawyers and consultants in Bangkok who can provide counsel if needed. Contact Compass IT Solutions and we will make sure your data is secure and you are compliant with the personal data protection act law.
Ensure Your Business is Compliant with the Personal Data Protection Act (Thailand )
Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (Thailand) (PDPA) is now fully enforceable, and businesses that collect, store, or process personal data are required to comply.
Even simple activities—such as collecting customer emails, managing employee data, or using CRM systems—fall under PDPA regulations. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust.
Compass IT Solutions helps businesses in Bangkok and across Thailand become PDPA-ready quickly and efficiently.
What is PDPA and Why It Matters
The PDPA is Thailand’s data protection law, similar in principle to Europe’s GDPR. It regulates how organizations:
- Collect personal data
- Store and secure information
- Use and share data
- Respond to data breaches
If your company handles any form of personal data, you are legally required to implement appropriate safeguards.
