Legal Basis for Processing

Under the PDPA, we process your personal information based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

Sensitive Personal Data

Medical and health information is classified as sensitive personal data under the PDPA. We collect and process this data only with your explicit consent, or where permitted under legal exemptions for medical treatment, preventive medicine, or occupational health purposes. Pre- and post-treatment photographs are taken only with your consent and are used solely for your medical records unless you provide separate consent for other uses (e.g., before-and-after case studies on our website or social media).

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: With trusted third-party providers who assist us in operating our business, including payment processors, appointment scheduling platforms, website hosting, analytics services, and messaging platforms (e.g., LINE, WhatsApp Business). These providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
  • Medical professionals: With other healthcare providers involved in your care, where necessary and with your consent
  • Legal requirements: When required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

International Data Transfers

As KKC Clinic serves international patients and uses service providers that may be located outside Thailand, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Thailand. When this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the PDPA, including contractual protections with our service providers.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Specifically:

  • Medical records: Retained in accordance with Thai medical record-keeping requirements and professional standards
  • Communication records: Retained for up to 2 years after your last interaction with us, unless a longer period is required for legal or medical purposes
  • Website usage data: Retained for up to 12 months
  • Marketing consent records: Retained for as long as your consent remains active, plus a reasonable period afterward for compliance documentation

When your information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS), access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel, secure storage of medical records, and regular review of our security practices.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
