The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Thailand's first law on data protection, is set to come into full effect on June 1 2022 and is designed to address key issues regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of personal data. With its extraterritorial reach, the PDPA is expected to significantly affect an increasingly global tech sector. In this episode, Lothar Determann, Kritiyanee Buranatrevedhya, Nam-ake Lekfuangfu, and Wasin Lertwalaipong go into detail about the compliance, employment, and enforcement aspects of the PDPA and provide their insights into what tech companies need to know and do in preparation for this new law.
