The digital landscape in Southeast Asia is growing quickly. To keep up with this growth, strict regulations are being put in place to protect data. In Thailand, there is a law called the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The Philippines also has a law called the Data Privacy Act (DPA). These laws set rules for how personal data is collected, used, and managed. It is important for businesses in these changing markets to comply with these laws. Compliance is necessary for legal reasons and to gain trust from consumers. Looms helps businesses in Thailand and the Philippines with local regulations and market trends.
Understanding Local Regulations:
Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act
Thailand’s PDPA became fully effective in June 2022. This law changed how personal data should be handled. It gives people rights over their personal data, similar to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. Thai citizens have important rights: the right to know, the right to access their data, and the right to have their data erased. These rights give people control over their personal information. Looms has studied these regulations to provide services that help businesses meet their PDPA compliance obligations. Our platform ensures that businesses respect people’s rights over their data. We help with consent management and data processing agreements. Our goal is to protect data while allowing businesses to use it responsibly.
Aligning with the Philippines’ PDPA
The Data Privacy Act of the Philippines has been in effect since 2012. It shows that the country takes data protection seriously. The act applies to any organization that deals with the personal information of Filipino individuals, no matter where they are located. The regulations on data handling are strict, and there are severe consequences for not following them. This act establishes a framework that requires careful and responsible management of data. At Looms, we understand the details of the DPA and provide tools to help businesses follow the rules. Our platform helps businesses implement privacy by design, which means they prioritize privacy in their data management. This approach is valued by Filipino consumers.
