# Thailand PDPA Representative

## Thailand PDPA Representative

Privacy Representation

Section 37(5) of the Thailand Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) requires organisations caught by its extraterritorial reach to appoint, in writing, a representative located in Thailand. Prighter will soon be launching this service. Register your interest today and we'll be in touch with relevant updates.

## Be first in line for Thailand PDPA Representation

This service is being developed. Registering your interest reflects no cost or commitment, and puts you at the front of the queue for our Thailand PDPA Representative service the minute it launches.

### You register your interest

Register your interest using your email address and the size of your organisation. No payment, no contract, no obligation.

### We finish the build

Section 37(5) of the PDPA is already in force. We're preparing the local presence, the filings, and the intake process so that we can offer the level of service that our clients have come to expect across our other Representative services.

### You hear first

By registering, you'll be contacted before the service goes live, with everything you need to make an informed decision and get started with our PDPA Representative service.

## What a Thailand PDPA Representative does

The Thailand Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) applies to organisations even without an established entity in the country. Section 5 of the regulation applies to Data Controllers and Processors outside the country when they offer goods or services to people in Thailand, or monitor their behaviour online.

A Thailand PDPA Representative: 

- Acts as your local representative in Thailand, appointed in writing and authorised to act on your behalf without limitation of liability.
- Gives data subjects in Thailand a local point of contact for their rights requests.
- Serves as the point of contact for the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC).

Failing to appoint a PDPA Representative is a direct breach of Section 37(5), carrying administrative fines of up to THB 5 million.

As with our other Representation services, Prighter will take care of this, serving as your domestic representative in Thailand, handling filings and inbound requests, so your team can operate from a single dashboard rather than a siloed local intermediary.

## Global Representation FAQs

### Is there a single global Representative requirement?

**No.** Representation requirements are jurisdiction-specific. Each country or region maintains its own legal framework and supervisory authority.

### Can one provider manage representation in multiple jurisdictions?

Separate legal mandates are required in each jurisdiction. A coordinated provider can streamline oversight and management across markets.

### Does appointing Representatives mean full compliance globally?

**No.** Representation fulfils formal legal requirements where applicable. Substantive compliance obligations remain with your organisation in each jurisdiction.

### How do we determine where we need representation?

This depends on where you offer services, process personal data and operate infrastructure. A structured cross-border assessment is the starting point.
