Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 May 2025
ruamjaia Law ("we", "us", "our") is committed to handling personal information responsibly and in keeping with the obligations placed on legal professionals under Thai law. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.
This policy applies to information collected through our website at https://ruamjaia.pro and in the course of providing our legal services. For questions, contact us at [email protected].
1. What information we collect
We collect personal information in the following ways:
Through our website contact form
When you submit an enquiry through our website, we collect your name, email address, and telephone number if you provide it. You may also include a message describing your situation. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
In the course of providing legal services
If you engage us for legal services, we will collect additional information relevant to the matter — which may include identity documents, financial records, property details, and correspondence. This information is collected under our professional obligation to provide legal services and to comply with applicable law.
Through cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies. You can read more in our Cookie Policy. We may use analytics tools to understand how the website is used. This data is aggregated and not linked to individual users.
2. Legal basis for processing
We process personal information on the following legal bases under the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (Thailand PDPA) and applicable professional regulations:
- Consent: For website enquiries and any optional communications you opt into.
- Contract: Where processing is necessary to carry out the legal services you have engaged us for.
- Legal obligation: Where we are required to process data to comply with professional and regulatory requirements placed on lawyers in Thailand.
- Legitimate interests: For limited purposes such as maintaining client records and improving our services, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries, to carry out the legal services you have engaged us for, and to communicate with you about your matter. We do not use your personal information for marketing purposes without your consent.
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information with third parties where necessary to carry out our services — for example, with courts, government offices, or notaries — or where we are required to do so by law.
4. Data retention
Website enquiries that do not result in an engagement are retained for six months and then deleted. Client matter files are retained for seven years from the conclusion of the matter, in accordance with professional requirements for legal practitioners in Thailand. After that period, files are securely destroyed.
5. How we protect your information
All digital files are stored in encrypted systems with access limited to staff working on each matter. Physical documents are kept in a locked document room. We use secure channels for all document transfers and do not transmit personal data by unencrypted email where alternatives are available.
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by applicable law.
6. Cookies
Our website uses essential cookies to function and optional analytics and preference cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our Cookie Policy page. Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are required for the website to operate.
7. Your rights
Under the Thailand Personal Data Protection Act and applicable law, you have the following rights:
- Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification: You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Erasure: You may ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.
- Portability: You may request a copy of your data in a portable format where technically feasible.
- Objection: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdrawal of consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Committee if you believe your rights have not been respected.
8. 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 read their privacy policies before providing personal information.
9. Children
Our services are intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information through our website, please contact us so we can remove it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of our website after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
