    We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices, security practices, or system failures of third-party platforms, except to the extent required by applicable law.

    9.International Data Transfers

    Some third-party systems, service providers, booking platforms, payment providers, communication tools, or website services may store or process data outside Thailand.

    Where practicable, we seek to engage reputable providers that maintain appropriate privacy and security standards. Where applicable and reasonably possible, we rely on contractual terms, service-provider commitments, or other available mechanisms intended to protect personal data.

    Third-party providers have their own legal and technical practices. Please consult their privacy information alongside this policy.

    10.Payment Processing

    Payments may be processed through secure external payment providers, financial institutions, or payment gateways.

    We do not intentionally collect or store full payment card numbers in our internal systems. Payment data may be tokenized, encrypted, or otherwise handled by third-party payment providers according to their own security standards and legal obligations.

    In the event of a payment dispute, refund, fraud investigation, or chargeback, the procedures and policies of the relevant payment provider, bank, card network, or platform may apply.

    When personal data is no longer necessary, we will delete, destroy, anonymize, or restrict access to it where reasonably practicable.

    16.Data Breach Handling

    If we become aware of a personal data breach, we will take reasonable steps to assess, contain, mitigate, and respond to the incident.

    Where required by applicable law, we will notify the relevant authority and/or affected individuals within the required legal timeframe.

    19.Marketing Choices

    If you have consented to receive marketing communications, you may withdraw your consent or opt out at any time by contacting us or using any unsubscribe method provided in the communication, where available.
