Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Sukjai Law ("we", "us", "our") takes the privacy of every person who contacts us seriously. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the rights you have under Thai law.

This policy applies to information collected through our website, enquiry forms, email correspondence, and in-person or remote consultations. It covers all clients, prospective clients, and website visitors.

Our practice handles information relating to family matters, which can be particularly sensitive. We approach all such data with heightened care and handle it in strict accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (2019) of Thailand (PDPA).

2. What data we collect and why

We collect personal data only where it is necessary for the services we provide or to respond to your enquiries. The data we typically collect includes:

• Identification data: name, date of birth (where relevant to legal matter)
• Contact data: email address, phone number, postal address
• Matter-related data: information about your family situation shared during consultations
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited (via cookies, with consent)

Legal basis for processing: We process personal data on the basis of your consent (when submitting an enquiry form), contractual necessity (when you engage our services), and legitimate interest (for internal record-keeping and improving our services).

Retention periods: Contact enquiry data is retained for up to 12 months. Client files for matters we handle are retained for 7 years following the closure of a matter, in accordance with Thai legal practice standards. Technical/analytics data is retained for up to 26 months.

3. How we use your data

Personal data collected by Sukjai Law is used for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries and scheduling consultations
• Delivering legal services you have engaged us for
• Sending written summaries and matter-related documents
• Maintaining internal records in accordance with professional obligations
• Improving our website and services (with consent, via analytics)

Data sharing: We do not sell personal data. We share data with third parties only where necessary — for example, with court registries or mediating authorities in the context of an active legal matter. Any such sharing is done with your knowledge and agreement.

We may use Google Analytics to understand how our website is used. This service processes anonymised data and operates under Google's own privacy terms. You may opt out through your cookie preferences.

4. How we protect your data

• Website communications are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
• Client files are stored on access-controlled systems
• Access to client data is restricted to the team members handling your matter
• In the event of a data breach, affected individuals will be notified within 72 hours where required under the PDPA

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to function correctly and, with your consent, to understand how visitors use the site. Essential cookies cannot be disabled. Optional analytics and marketing cookies are only placed with your agreement.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Policy page.

6. Your rights under the PDPA

Under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (Thailand), you have the following rights:

• Right to access: request a copy of personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification: request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Right to data portability: receive your data in a structured format
• Right to object: object to data processing based on legitimate interest
• Right to withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may contact the Personal Data Protection Committee of Thailand.

7. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies separately before submitting any personal information.

8. Children's privacy

Our services are intended for adults (18 years and over) who are seeking legal advice or representation. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18 through our website. Where a matter involves the interests of a child, personal data about that child is handled with particular sensitivity and only in the context of the legal matter at hand.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the updated date at the top of this page will be revised. For significant changes, we will notify existing clients directly by email where appropriate.
