1. Personal data RECOFTC collects
So that RECOFTC can develop and improve the way it presents information to everyone — efficiently, accurately, completely, quickly and reliably — RECOFTC needs to collect some of your personal data when you use its Website. Your personal data is collected and held under RECOFTC’s standard security system.
While using the Website or registering as a member, you may need to provide personal data, including but not limited to your e-mail address, telephone number and such other personal data as is necessary, which must be true and accurate. You agree to correct, add to or update your personal data whenever it changes or whenever RECOFTC requests it, so that your personal data remains accurate, current, complete and not misleading. Collecting your personal data allows RECOFTC to use and analyse it for the purposes and activities of RECOFTC and its affiliates, including but not limited to understanding what you need from the service, so that RECOFTC can serve you more completely and more closely to your requirements.
Beyond using the service or registering as a member, RECOFTC may ask for and collect further personal data from you, including but not limited to when you take part in promotions supported by RECOFTC, its affiliates and/or its business partners, or when you use facilities provided by RECOFTC and its affiliates. As RECOFTC continues to add to the number and kinds of service it offers, you are able to make full use of them and to receive the privileges available to members and users of the RECOFTC website.
2. What is a “cookie”?
In addition to the personal data RECOFTC collects, it also gathers other information about you using cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data that your web browser stores on your computer so that RECOFTC can tell when you visit its website. Cookies let RECOFTC know what kind of browser you use, without revealing other personal data such as your real name or your address. They also show RECOFTC which services you favour and which are of no interest to you. Cookies therefore do more than let RECOFTC recognise returning visitors and monitor how many people use the website and why: they also help RECOFTC provide information or advertising tailored to you.
3. Collection and use of your personal data
RECOFTC’s purpose in collecting and using your personal data is to let each of its users reach accurate and complete information conveniently and quickly, and to ensure that users receive information and services that are good, of high quality, and matched to what they need.
Your personal data is collected and used for lawful purposes directly related to the activities of RECOFTC and its affiliates, and only so far as is necessary within those purposes or for benefits directly related to them. RECOFTC will hold your personal data under a standard security system for as long as RECOFTC and its affiliates provide services to you.
By using this RECOFTC Website you consent to RECOFTC holding, keeping, collecting, using, disclosing and processing your personal data in order to provide services for the purposes of RECOFTC and its affiliates, and you agree that RECOFTC may pass your data to its business partners, so that the service to you is fast, accurate and as useful as possible.
You further agree that RECOFTC, its affiliates and its business partners may also collect such personal data about you from other sources.
This policy does not cover data collection carried out by third parties, whether advertisers, service providers, sellers on the Website, or other websites linked to RECOFTC’s. RECOFTC accepts no liability for any damage arising from data collection by third parties.
4. Disclosure of your data
RECOFTC will not disclose any personal data that could identify or be used to contact you, except where disclosure is for the service purposes of the Website (educational planning or other educational benefit), or is necessary for benefits directly related to the activities of RECOFTC, its affiliates or its business partners, or for the service purposes of RECOFTC and its affiliates. You consent to RECOFTC disclosing your personal data for the provision of services in line with those purposes.
So that RECOFTC’s services work efficiently, RECOFTC may send or transfer your personal data abroad, and undertakes that the receiving country’s personal data protection standards are no lower than the protection given by Thai personal data protection law.
5. Rights of the data subject
Every user has the right to access the personal data about them held by RECOFTC, and the right to ask RECOFTC to correct or change that data so that it is accurate, complete or current, as well as the right to ask RECOFTC to delete their personal data at any time, except in the following cases:
- where it would conflict with another provision of law or with a court order;
- where it would affect the security of the Kingdom;
- where it would affect the country’s economy and commerce;
- where it would affect an investigation or inquiry by officials under the law, or a court’s adjudication;
- where it is necessary to protect the data subject, or the rights and freedoms of others.
You also have the right to ask RECOFTC to destroy your personal data once the retention period has passed, or where the data is no longer relevant or goes beyond what the purpose of collection requires, or where you have withdrawn consent. You may also ask RECOFTC to destroy it, suspend its use temporarily, or convert it into anonymised form.
6. Your choices about the collection, use and allocation of personal data
RECOFTC may send you e-mail from time to time. If you indicated at registration that you wished to receive offers or information from RECOFTC and its partners, RECOFTC may occasionally send you information about products and services that may interest you.
You have a choice about cookies: you may set your browser to accept all cookies, or to refuse them all. If you refuse all cookies, you acknowledge that you may not be able to use the services of RECOFTC and its affiliates in full, or to use some websites effectively.
7. Protection of personal financial data
Keeping personal financial data confidential matters greatly to RECOFTC, as does all other personal data. RECOFTC will not rent out or sell your personal financial data.
Although knowing how you use the service helps RECOFTC present content and advertising suited to you, RECOFTC will not release that information to third parties without your consent.
Any user statistics RECOFTC may in future disclose to advertisers or partners, concerning financial services or use of RECOFTC’s services, will not include personal data capable of identifying an individual user.
8. RECOFTC’s security precautions against damage from misuse or alteration of your data
RECOFTC maintains security measures to protect its users against damage to, misuse of, or alteration of the data in its care. Only authorised RECOFTC staff can access your personal data. RECOFTC will use its best efforts to prevent damage to, misuse of, or alteration of your data. You acknowledge and agree that RECOFTC reserves the right to disclaim all liability or damage arising from force majeure, computer crime, or any other cause not attributable to RECOFTC’s fault.
Where the Website provides a member encryption system, your personal data is password-protected and only you can reach it. You are responsible for looking after your personal data and password as carefully as you can. RECOFTC recommends that you do not disclose your password to anyone, and that you sign out of your browser every time you finish using a computer, so that nobody else can reach your personal data and correspondence — particularly if you share a computer or use one in a public place such as a library or an internet café.
9. Limitation of liability
If RECOFTC finds that your personal data has been breached, it will notify you of the breach without delay, together with its plan for remedying the resulting harm.
You acknowledge and agree that if your personal or related data, whether general or personal, is stolen by computer crime, lost or damaged through no fault of RECOFTC, RECOFTC reserves the right to disclaim any liability arising as a result.
RECOFTC may change this personal data protection policy at any time by posting notice of the amendment on its website or by e-mail. Your use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the terms of this policy and of its amendments; you consent and agree to those amendments and will not assert any title or legal right against RECOFTC in respect of them. Continuing to use the service after such a notice is likewise taken as acceptance of each amendment.
