Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how IP CONSULTING (THAILAND) LIMITED (“we”, “us” or “the firm”) collects, uses, discloses and protects personal data when you visit this website or contact us. It is intended to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) of Thailand (the “PDPA”).

For the purposes of the PDPA, IP CONSULTING (THAILAND) LIMITED is the data controller of the personal data described in this policy.

We collect personal data in the following ways:

• Details you send by email or telephone
• Your name, title and organisation
• Contact details and correspondence
• Information about your IP matter
• Technical data such as browser and device type
• Cookie and website usage data

This website does not have an enquiry form or user accounts. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through this website, and we ask that you do not send it to us unless we request it for a specific matter.

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, assess whether we can act on a matter, provide intellectual property services, communicate with clients and overseas counsel, meet our legal and regulatory obligations, and operate, secure and improve this website.

Depending on the purpose, we rely on one or more lawful bases under the PDPA: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, performing a contract, our legitimate interests in running and developing our practice, compliance with legal obligations, and your consent where consent is required, such as for analytics cookies.

We do not sell personal data. We may disclose personal data to:

• Hosting and IT service providers
• Email and communication providers
• Analytics providers such as Google
• Local associates on matters you instruct
• Government authorities and courts
• Professional advisers and auditors

Service providers process personal data only on our instructions and are required to protect it.

Some of our service providers, including Google, may store or process personal data outside Thailand. Where we coordinate matters in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar or Vietnam, or work with overseas counsel, personal data may also be sent to those countries. When personal data is transferred outside Thailand, we take steps required by the PDPA to ensure it is adequately protected.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, regulatory, professional and record-keeping requirements. Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are kept for a limited period and then deleted. Client files are kept for the period required by law and professional practice.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or email is completely secure, so please consider this before sending sensitive information by email.

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the PDPA, you have the right to:

• Access and obtain a copy of your data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion or anonymisation
• Restrict or object to processing
• Receive your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. You may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee of Thailand.
