Privacy Policy

Ratchada Niti ("we", "us", "our") is committed to handling personal data with care and transparency. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights available to individuals under applicable law, including Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA).

1. Who We Are

• Technical data collected automatically (IP address, browser type, pages visited) via cookies and analytics tools

In the course of providing legal services, we may also collect more detailed personal and financial information relevant to the matter — this is governed by our engagement terms and separate confidentiality obligations.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent: Where you have provided information voluntarily through our contact form or enquiry process

4. How We Use Your Data

• To respond to enquiries and arrange consultations

• To maintain records required by professional and regulatory obligations
• To improve the performance and content of this website
• We do not use personal data for marketing purposes without your explicit consent

5. Data Retention

Enquiry data is retained for up to twelve months unless it leads to a formal engagement, in which case retention periods are governed by professional practice requirements (typically seven years following completion of a matter). Website analytics data is retained for up to twenty-four months.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared with:

• Professional service providers who support our practice (secure hosting, IT support) under data processing agreements
• Courts, government offices, or counterparties where required to deliver legal services you have engaged us for
• Regulatory or law enforcement bodies where required by Thai law

7. Cookies

This website uses cookies to support basic functionality and, with your consent, to analyse site usage. Please see our Cookie Policy for full details and preference controls.

8. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. This includes encrypted data storage, access restrictions, and secure communication channels. In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to individuals, we will notify affected parties and the relevant authority in accordance with PDPA obligations.

9. Your Rights Under the PDPA

Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of data we no longer have a legitimate basis to hold
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is consent-based)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within thirty days.

10. International Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside Thailand (for example, to cloud service providers), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with PDPA requirements for cross-border transfers.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for adults (18 years and older). We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites and recommend reviewing their policies independently.
