On 7 September 2022, the Personal Data Protection Committee ("PDPC"), as the Thai personal data protection regulator, issued two sets of guidelines, namely, (i) guidelines on procedures for providing a notification of the purposes and details relating to the collection of personal data from data subjects; and (ii) guidelines on procedures for requesting consent from data subjects. The purposes of these two sets of guidelines are to provide details of and clarity to the requirements as to the consent request and notification of privacy notice/policy so that the data controllers and any relevant persons can be aware of and gain a better understanding of how to comply with such requirements.
