5. Log Files and Server Data
When you access our Website, your browser automatically transmits certain information to our server, which is temporarily stored in so-called log files: IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer URL, browser type and version, and operating system.

This data is processed to ensure a stable and secure operation of the Website and to prevent misuse; it is based on legitimate interests within the meaning of the PDPA.

6. Contact Form and Communication
If you use the contact form on the Website or contact us by email, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, email address, message, phone number) in order to handle your inquiry.

The legal basis is your consent and/or the necessity to carry out pre-contractual measures or provide our services.

7. Newsletter (if applicable)
If we offer a newsletter and you subscribe, we use your email address and, where applicable, your name to send you regular information about relocation to Thailand.
Subscription is based solely on your explicit consent (opt-in). You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by clicking the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our Website may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g. local storage, pixels) to provide essential functions, analyze usage, and, where applicable, display personalized content or advertising.

  • Technically necessary cookies: Required for the operation of the Website (e.g. language settings, security functions)
  • Statistics cookies: For anonymized analysis of user behavior (e.g. Google Analytics or similar tools, if used)
  • Marketing cookies: To track users across websites in order to display interest-based advertising

Non-essential cookies are only set with your consent, which you can grant, refuse, or customize via a cookie banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.

9. Web Analytics and Tracking (optional adjustment)
Where we use web analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo, or comparable services), this is done to evaluate usage and improve our Website.
Cookies may be set, IP addresses may be truncated, and pseudonymous usage profiles may be created. Processing takes place only insofar as permitted under the PDPA and—where required—with your consent.
The specific tools used, providers, storage duration, and opt-out options should be described here in detail, including links and, where applicable, information on international data transfers.

10. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
We only share personal data if this is necessary for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, if there is a legal obligation, or if you have explicitly consented.
Recipients may include in particular:

  • IT service providers and hosting providers
  • Providers of analytics and marketing tools
  • Consulting and cooperation partners (e.g. visa services, lawyers, tax advisors, insurance companies), where necessary for your inquiry or contract
  • Authorities and public bodies, where required by law

Where required by law, we conclude data processing agreements with service providers to ensure compliant handling of personal data.

11. International Data Transfers
As we are based in Thailand and may work with international service providers, personal data may be transferred to countries outside Thailand with your consent.
Such transfers are carried out only where permitted under the PDPA, for example where the recipient country provides an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards are in place, or statutory exceptions apply (e.g. your explicit consent).

12. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or as required by law.
Once the purpose ceases to apply and no statutory retention obligations exist, the data will be deleted or anonymized in accordance with the PDPA.
