Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Pranee Legal ("we", "us", "our") is a law practice registered and operating in Bangkok, Thailand, at 73 Charoen Krung Road, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500. We provide legal services related to inheritance and estate matters under Thai law.

We handle personal information with the same care we apply to estate matters: thoughtfully, securely, and only to the extent necessary. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used and protected, and the rights you hold in relation to it.

This policy applies to all individuals who contact us, use our website, or engage our services. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Correspondence and messages sent through our contact form
• Information about the estate or legal matter you describe to us
• Identity and relationship information needed to provide legal services
• Technical data such as browser type and pages visited (via analytics cookies, where consented)

How we collect it: Primarily through our website contact form, email correspondence, telephone calls, and in-person meetings. We do not acquire personal data from third-party brokers.

Legal basis: Processing is based on your consent (where you contact us voluntarily), performance of a legal services contract (once engaged), and our legitimate interest in operating a legal practice securely and lawfully.

Retention: Contact enquiry data is held for up to 12 months if no engagement follows. Client matter data is retained for 7 years following closure of the matter, in accordance with professional obligations under Thai law.

• Where required to carry out legal work on your behalf (e.g., court filings, land department submissions)
