Version 2.0 — Last Updated: March 2026
Applicable Regulations: Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA) — Primary · EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) — Applicable to EU/EEA residents only · Thai Revenue Code
1. Data Controller
The Data Controller responsible for your personal information is:
LevelMark Accounting Co., Ltd. 30 Soi Sukhumvit 61 (Sethabut) Khlong Tan Nuea, Vadhana, Bangkok 10110 — Thailand Email: info@lmaccfirm.com Website: lmaccfirm.com
For any enquiry relating to the protection of personal data, please contact us directly at the email address above, with the subject line: “Privacy — [Type of Request]”.
Note on the DPO (Data Protection Officer): Based on LevelMark Accounting’s current activities, which do not involve large-scale processing or systematic monitoring of data subjects, the appointment of a DPO is not mandatory under Art. 37 GDPR or Section 41 PDPA B.E. 2562. Should activities expand in a manner that makes such appointment necessary, the Data Controller will promptly designate a DPO and notify the competent supervisory authority. All data protection enquiries are handled directly by the Data Controller at info@lmaccfirm.com.
2. Scope of Application
This Privacy Policy applies to all users and clients of LevelMark Accounting Co., Ltd. and complies with the following regulations:
| User's Residence | Applicable Regulation | Supervisory Authority |
|---|---|---|
| **Thailand** | PDPA B.E. 2562 (primary) | Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC) |
| **European Union / EEA** | GDPR 2016/679 (in addition to PDPA) | Data protection authority of the user's country of residence |
| **Other residences** | PDPA as primary regulation | PDPC |
Important — Scope of GDPR: The EU General Data Protection Regulation applies exclusively to data subjects residing in the European Union or European Economic Area, pursuant to Art. 3(2) GDPR. For all other users, the Thai PDPA constitutes the primary and governing regulation.
Where the two regulations diverge, the applicable regime is specified for each category of user. Where they converge — which is the case in the vast majority of instances, given that the PDPA is modelled on the GDPR — a single unified rule applies.
3. Collection of Personal Data
We adhere to the principle of Data Minimisation (Section 22 PDPA / Art. 5(1)(c) GDPR).
We collect exclusively the information you voluntarily provide to us through our Contact Form. This includes:
- Full name
- Email address
- Message content (and any personal data contained therein)
We do not collect:
- Browsing history
- IP addresses for tracking purposes
- Behavioural analytics
- Geolocation data
- Cookies of any kind (see Section 4)
Provision of data:
- Mandatory: Name, Email and Message fields — without this information, we are unable to process your contact request or provide preliminary consultation.
- Optional: Consent to marketing communications (separate, non-pre-ticked checkbox) — refusal does not affect service delivery in any way.
Consequence of non-provision: If mandatory data is not provided, it will not be possible to respond to your enquiry or process your consultation request.
4. Cookie Policy — Zero-Cookie Website
We do not use cookies of any kind.
This website is designed as a Stateless Static Application. We do not install analytical, tracking, marketing or technical cookies on the user’s device. Browsing our website is entirely anonymous.
Direct consequence: No Cookie Consent Banner is required, in full compliance with:
- PDPC guidelines on cookies and online tracking
- Privacy by Design principle (Art. 25 GDPR / Section 37 PDPA)
- The absence of any cookie-based processing means no consent mechanism for cookies is legally required
5. Purposes and Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your data on the basis of explicit consent, as required by:
- Section 19 PDPA B.E. 2562
- Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR (for EU/EEA residents)
Our contact form requires clear, specific and separate consent for each purpose, through non-pre-ticked checkboxes:
☐ Mandatory Consent — Handling of Request I consent to LevelMark Accounting processing my contact information (name, email, message) for the purpose of responding to my enquiry and providing preliminary consultation on accounting, tax compliance and business advisory services in Thailand.
☐ Optional Consent — Marketing Communications (Double Opt-In for EU/EEA subscribers) I consent to receiving occasional updates from LevelMark Accounting, including: tax alerts, regulatory changes affecting businesses in Thailand, accounting and compliance newsletters, and service updates.
Double Opt-In Notice: For subscribers residing in the EU/EEA, subscription to promotional communications is confirmed via a follow-up email after the initial consent is recorded, in accordance with EU data protection best practices and applicable supervisory authority guidelines.
Your consent is:
- Freely given and informed — we clearly explain each purpose
- Granular — separate checkboxes for different purposes
- Unconditional — refusal of optional consent does not affect the service
- Documented — we record the date, time and version of the policy at the time consent is given
- Withdrawable at any time — by writing to info@lmaccfirm.com with the subject line “Withdraw Consent”
We do not use pre-ticked boxes. We do not process your data for purposes other than those for which you have expressly given consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal (Section 19(3) PDPA / Art. 7(3) GDPR).
6. Data Retention Periods
We retain your personal data only for as long as strictly necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with the Thai Revenue Code and PDPA requirements:
| Type of Data | Retention Period | Legal Basis |

| Contact form enquiries (no business relationship) | **1 year** from last contact | Data minimisation — Section 22 PDPA / Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR |
| Client accounting records | **Minimum 5 years** after engagement ends | Thai Revenue Code Section 12 |
| Tax documents and related correspondence | **10 years** | Thai Revenue Code Section 3 |

Upon expiry of the retention period, data is securely and irreversibly deleted or anonymised, unless legal obligations require longer retention. You may request early deletion subject to our legal retention obligations (see Section 8).

In certain operational circumstances (e.g. cloud accounting software, secure email hosting, cloud infrastructure), personal data may be transferred outside Thailand. All international data transfers comply with Sections 28–29 of the PDPA and the PDPC Notification on Cross-Border Data Transfers (effective 24 March 2024).
We ensure adequate protection through ONE or more of the following legal mechanisms:
- Transfer to countries with adequate data protection standards (once the PDPC publishes the approved countries list); OR
- Implementation of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards approved by the PDPC; OR
- Your explicit consent for the specific cross-border transfer, obtained at the time of data collection (Section 29 PDPA / Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR for EU residents)
Where we use international service providers, we conduct due diligence to ensure they maintain security standards equivalent to those required under Thai law and, where applicable, EU law.

- For breaches affecting EU/EEA residents: we will also notify the competent EU supervisory authority within 72 hours, pursuant to Art. 33 GDPR.

Use of AI or software tools in support of operations: LevelMark Accounting may use accounting software, cloud platforms or AI-assisted tools as internal operational support. In such cases, no personal data of clients or enquirers is shared with or processed by such tools without prior anonymisation or explicit consent. This is consistent with the emerging requirements of the EU AI Act (Regulation EU 2024/1689) and PDPC guidance on automated data processing.
