The Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 is enacted to put in place measures to protect the rights of personal data that any person will access, use, collect and store information of any person must obtain the consent of the owner. In some cases, it is necessary to be exempt from the consent process by reason and absolute necessity. As an exception enacted in Section 4 of the Act.

From the study, it was found that there is no clear guideline in the Act regarding the measures that any state authority or persons who are exempted under Section 4 to have any duty or processed to prevent from wrongdoing. A study of The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 and The Data Protection Act, UK law found a preliminary orientation. To prevent reliance on legal exceptions to misuse personal data.
