Abstract
This research aims to find the proper legal measures for personal data protection in Thailand, especially in case of data transfer outside territory. By doing so, this paper studies the practice of data transferring in several legal frameworks. Some are International legal frameworks which are usually called soft Law, which are The OECD Privacy Framework and The APEC Privacy Framework. On the other hand, the examples of hard law are The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Singapore Personal Data Protection Act. In addition, the comparison of data transfer measures under several legal frameworks will be provided in order to find some recommendations for Thailand, where The Personal Data Protection Act is not available. Then, this study will introduce an updated, proper and standardized legal tool to protect personal data of Thais while data transfer is happening in the society.
