Privacy Policy

Grither Company Limited (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the personal data of clients and visitors to grither-ex.com. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of personal data we process, the purposes and legal bases for processing, how data is disclosed and retained, and the rights of data subjects.

This Policy applies to the use of our website, communications with the Company through available channels, and visits to our currency exchange office. Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable Thai law, including the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA). Where required by law, we request separate consent for the relevant processing activity.

The Company acts as the controller of personal data received through the website, contact forms, business correspondence, telephone enquiries and customer services at our office, unless the nature of specific processing indicates otherwise.

2. Definitions

  • Personal data means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.
  • Processing means any operation performed on personal data, including collection, recording, retention, use, disclosure and deletion.
  • Client means an individual seeking a cash foreign currency exchange service.
  • User means an individual visiting the website or contacting the Company through an available communication channel.
  • Cookies are small files that the website or integrated services may store in a user's browser.

3. Principles and Legal Bases for Processing

The Company processes personal data for specified and lawful purposes and limits its collection to information necessary to provide services and meet applicable obligations.

Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on:

  • taking steps in response to a client's request and performing an agreed transaction;
  • compliance with legal obligations, including customer identification, foreign exchange regulations, accounting and anti-money laundering requirements;
  • the Company's legitimate interests, including security, fraud prevention and handling enquiries, subject to the rights of data subjects; or
  • the data subject's consent, where required by applicable law.

The Company takes reasonable steps to keep data accurate and up to date, restrict access, and discontinue processing when its relevant purpose has been fulfilled, unless continued retention is required or permitted by law.

4. Categories of Personal Data

Information provided when contacting us: name, telephone number, email address, messenger identifier, message contents, requested currency and proposed exchange amount.

Transaction-related information: data needed to record and document a transaction, including currency type, amount, exchange rate and supporting documentation. Where required by applicable rules, we also process identification document information and other details necessary to identify the client and verify a transaction.

Technical information: IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, referral source, website interactions and technical errors. The scope of such information depends on the website features and service settings in use.

Video surveillance: recordings from CCTV cameras installed at the office are used to protect visitors and staff, safeguard property and investigate incidents.

Contact details are generally necessary for us to respond to an enquiry. Where customer identification or additional documents are legally required for a particular currency exchange transaction, failure to provide the required information may prevent the transaction from proceeding.

5. Purposes of Processing

The Company processes personal data to:

  • respond to enquiries and provide information about exchange rates, currency availability and office hours;
  • arrange and carry out transactions involving foreign currency banknotes;
  • identify customers and perform required checks;
  • maintain legally required records and supporting documentation;
  • protect the office and website and prevent fraud;
  • handle complaints, correct errors and resolve disputes;
  • maintain the website, analyse visits and measure advertising effectiveness where an appropriate legal basis exists; and
  • send informational or promotional communications where permitted by law, including with consent where required.

6. Recipients and Third-Party Services

The Company does not sell personal data. Access may be granted to authorised staff and, where necessary, to the following categories of recipients:

  • hosting, technical support, email and communication service providers;
  • messaging service providers selected by the user to contact us;
  • providers of website analytics, advertising tools and mapping services;

Where third-party service providers are engaged, the Company implements the organisational and contractual measures required to protect personal data within its obligations under applicable law.

7. International Transfers

Personal data may be processed outside Thailand when international hosting, analytics or communication services are used. Such transfers are made on a legal basis and subject to safeguards required under the PDPA and other applicable requirements.

Enquiries and related correspondence are retained for as long as necessary to respond, address subsequent complaints and meet legal obligations. The retention of technical data and identifiers depends on the processing purpose and relevant service settings.

At the end of the applicable period, personal data is deleted, anonymised or retained on another lawful basis.

Subject to the conditions and limitations of applicable law, individuals may:

  • request information about the processing of their personal data and access to that data;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
