In compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) and other relevant laws, including any future amendments ("Personal Data Protection Laws"), 2J Solution and Service Co., Ltd. ("the Company") has established this Personal Data Protection Policy ("Policy") to describe details regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data to the Company's personnel and employees in connection with the Company's business operations, in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Laws.
Key Definitions
"Personal Data" means data about a natural person that enables identification of that person, whether directly or indirectly, but does not include data of deceased persons specifically.
"Sensitive Personal Data" means personal data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual behavior, criminal records, health data, disability, trade union data, genetic data, biometric data, or any other data which may give rise to unfair discrimination against or similarly affect the data subject, as specified under the Personal Data Protection Laws.
"Data Subject" means the natural person to whom personal data relates, including the Company's personnel, customers, business partners, visitors, and any other natural person whose personal data the Company collects, uses, or discloses.
"Data Controller" means a natural person or legal entity having authority and responsibility to make decisions regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data.
"Data Processor" means a natural person or legal entity that carries out the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data pursuant to the instructions of or on behalf of the Data Controller. Such a person or entity is not a Data Controller.
"Processing" means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether by automated means or not, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, alteration or adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
"Legal Basis" means a lawful ground for collecting and processing personal data under the Personal Data Protection Laws.
1. Lawful Collection of Personal Data
When collecting, using, or disclosing personal data, the Company must act under a legal basis as prescribed by the Personal Data Protection Laws and as set out in this Policy:
General Personal Data — the Company will collect personal data under one of the following legal bases:
- Vital Interest — prevention or suppression of danger to a person's life, body, or health
- Contract — performance of a contract or steps taken at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract
- Public Interest — performance of a task carried out in the public interest
- Legitimate Interest — purposes of the legitimate interests of the Company or a third party
- Legal Obligation — compliance with a legal obligation
- Explicit Consent — freely given, specific, and informed consent of the data subject
Sensitive Personal Data — the Company will collect sensitive personal data only upon obtaining explicit consent from the data subject, unless one of the following legal exceptions applies:
- To prevent or suppress danger to life, body, or health of a person when the data subject is incapable of giving consent for any reason (typically in emergency situations)
- The data has been made publicly available with the explicit consent of the data subject
-
It is necessary to comply with laws for the following purposes:
- Preventive medicine or occupational medicine, assessment of an employee's working capacity
- Public health interests
- Labor protection, social security, national health insurance, or welfare relating to medical treatment under the rights of entitled persons, where collection is necessary for the exercise of rights or obligations of the Company or the data subject
- Scientific, historical, or statistical research, or other public interest
- Other significant public interests, such as collection for the purpose of preventing communicable diseases or epidemics, or collection and disclosure to government agencies for the purpose of anti-money laundering
Note: The interpretation of "public interest" may change in accordance with the guidelines of the Personal Data Protection Committee or as specified in subordinate legislation that may be enacted in the future.
Details regarding the types, purposes, and legal bases of the Company's personal data collection will be set out in the Privacy Notice for each category of data subject.
2. Personal Data Collection Practices
The Company shall consider and collect only the minimum personal data necessary to achieve its stated purposes, and shall delete or destroy any unnecessarily obtained data — particularly sensitive personal data.
For example, when processing personal data from a copy of an ID card to verify a person's identity, the Company generally requires only general personal data (such as name, surname, ID number, and photograph). If sensitive personal data appears on the copy (such as religion or blood type), the Company will redact such information, retaining only what is necessary for identification purposes.
This minimizes the risk of unlawful collection, use, or disclosure of personal data and reduces the risk of data breaches.
3. Privacy Notice for Data Subjects
Whenever the Company collects personal data, it must provide a Privacy Notice to data subjects — such as job applicants, personnel and shareholders, customers, business partners, or any other persons from whom personal data is collected — to explain how their personal data is collected and processed. The Privacy Notice must contain at least the following:
- Purpose of personal data collection
- Legal basis for collection
- Notification of cases where the data subject is required to provide personal data to comply with a law or contract, or to enter into a contract, including the consequences of failing to do so
- Categories of personal data to be collected
- Retention period (or, where this cannot be determined, the expected retention period)
- Categories of persons or entities to whom the data may be disclosed
- Rights of the data subject
- Company contact details (and contact details of any representative or Data Protection Officer, where applicable)
- Any other relevant information necessary for the data subject to understand and, where applicable, make an informed decision about giving consent
The Privacy Notice must be provided to data subjects before or at the time of collection. Where data was collected before this Policy came into effect and the Company continues to use it, the Privacy Notice must be provided as soon as possible.
Re-notification is not required if the data subject has already received the Privacy Notice, unless the Privacy Notice is subsequently amended, in which case the updated version must be re-issued.
4. Sources of Personal Data
Generally, the Company will collect personal data directly from the data subject — for example, through verbal communication or submission of documents.
Where it is necessary to collect personal data from other sources or third parties, the Company must: (a) notify the data subject of such collection and provide the Privacy Notice without delay and no later than 30 days from the date of collection; and (b) obtain consent from the data subject where collection is based on consent — except where the data is to be used to contact the data subject, in which case the Company shall notify the data subject at first contact, or where the data is to be disclosed, in which case the Company shall notify the data subject before first disclosure.
In some cases, notification under (a) may not be required if the Company can demonstrate that notification is impossible or would obstruct the use or disclosure of data, or that the data subject already has knowledge of the relevant details.
Where the Company engages a Data Processor to act on its behalf, the Company may authorize the Data Processor to provide the Privacy Notice on its behalf, provided that the Data Processor complies with this Policy accordingly.
5. Rights of Data Subjects
The Company acknowledges that data subjects have the right to take actions with respect to their personal data held by the Company, as prescribed by the Personal Data Protection Laws. The Company must provide a request form to facilitate the exercise of these rights. Where the Company has grounds to refuse a request, it must notify the data subject in writing and record the grounds for refusal in writing.
The rights of data subjects are as follows:
- Right to withdraw consent
- Right to access and receive a copy of personal data
- Right to data portability
- Right to object to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data
- Right to erasure of personal data
- Right to restriction of use of personal data
- Right to rectification of personal data
- Right to lodge a complaint

- Control of access to personal data and storage/processing devices, balancing usability and security

10. Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Data
The Company may transfer personal data to foreign countries or international organizations in the following cases:
- The destination country has been recognized as having adequate personal data protection standards
-
Where the destination country has inadequate standards, the transfer must fall within one of the following exceptions:
- Compliance with law
- Consent of the data subject, after being informed of the inadequate standards of the destination
- Necessity to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party, or to take pre-contractual steps
- Performance of a contract between the Company and another party for the benefit of the data subject
- Prevention or suppression of danger to life, body, or health when the data subject is unable to give consent
- Necessity for an important public interest task
- For transfers within the same corporate group, the Company may transfer personal data without meeting the above conditions, provided a Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) policy has been reviewed and certified by the Personal Data Protection Office (note: the Company currently has no such intra-group transfer policy)
Currently, the Committee has not designated any countries as having adequate protection standards, nor certified any BCR policies. However, the Company may still transfer personal data internationally where it has implemented appropriate protection measures, enforceable data subject rights, and effective legal remedies in accordance with legally prescribed standards. As such standards have not yet been established in law, the Company may proceed under the conditions in Section 10.2 until further legislation is enacted.
11. Response to Personal Data Breaches
Upon discovering a personal data breach, all employees and personnel must coordinate to investigate the cause and identify corrective measures to prevent recurrence. The Company must notify the Personal Data Protection Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, to the extent practicable. Where the breach poses a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the Company must also notify the affected data subjects and provide remedial guidance without delay.
12. Amendments to This Policy
This Personal Data Protection Policy may be amended as appropriate in accordance with changes in law and business requirements.
This Policy was last amended on 1 June 2022.
