"The new Thai PDPA, the EU GDPR and their implications on businesses in Thailand"

On 1 June 2022, the Personal Data Protection Act, B.E. 2562 (2019) ("PDPA") came into force. The main objective of Thailand's first consolidated data protection law, which is largely based on the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), is to guarantee protection for individuals and their personal data. As such, it imposes several obligations on businesses when collecting, using, and disclosing personal data.

The GDPR, which already came into force in 2018, has, first of all, effect on personal data processed by European organisations. However, where a sufficient connection to the EU can be established, the GDRP can apply to businesses in Thailand, as well.

During our breakfast talk, we will discuss what businesses and activities are subject to the PDPA, obligations of Data Controllers and Data Processors, rights of Data Subjects, sanctions and how to prepare your business for the new law. We will further help you to evaluate whether or not the European data protection laws will be relevant for your organisation.

Admission Fee: Baht 1,200
