The Personal Data Protection Act, B.E. 2562 (2019) ('PDPA') is Thailand's first consolidated data protection law, published in the Thai Government Gazette on 27 May 2019. This law was said to go into effect on 27 May 2020. However, in May 2020, the Thai Cabinet, through a Royal Decree, deferred the enforcement of specific data protection provisions of the PDPA until 31 May 2021. After three years of delays, Thailand's PDPA went into effect on June 1st, 2022.

The PDPA aims to protect individuals' personal data and impose obligations on businesses to collect, use, and disclose personal data. The PDPA is primarily based on the EU’s GDPR. Therefore, there are several similarities, such as the legal provisions for processing personal data, data subject requests, and other security measures requirements.

The Solution

Securiti enables organizations to comply with the Thai PDPA regulations through AI-driven PI data discovery, DSR automation, documented accountability, enhanced visibility into data processing activities, and AI-driven process automation.

Right to Access: Data controllers and processors have a legal obligation to provide data subjects with access to and copies of their personal data. This right must be honored without delay and no later than one month after receiving the data subject's request.

Right to Data Portability: Data subjects also have the right to ask for data to be sent from one controller to another in a readable format that can be used or disclosed automatically.

Right to Rectification: Data subjects have the right to have erroneous data corrected and incomplete data about themselves rectified.

Right to Erasure: Data subjects have a right to erasure available where the controller or processor must delete the data of the data subjects if they withdraw their consent, where data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected or processed for, or where data was collected unlawfully.
