Privacy Policy

Advance Seeds Co., Ltd. ("the Company", "we") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA). This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when you use www.advanceseeds.com ("the Website").

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Automatically collected data

When you visit the Website, we automatically record certain visit information for analytics and security purposes, including your IP address, the page you viewed, your browser and operating system, an approximate country (derived from your IP address via a third-party lookup service), and the date/time of your visit. This information is used solely for website analytics and to detect and block automated bots, scrapers, and malicious/vulnerability-scanning traffic — it is not used to identify you personally.

1.2 Cookies

We use cookies to (1) remember your selected language, (2) maintain your session while browsing the site, and (3) analyze site usage via Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager. By continuing to use the Website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Website may not function correctly as a result.

1.3 Information you provide directly

When you contact us through the contact form on the Website (currently powered by an embedded Google Form), we may collect information such as your name, company, email address, country, phone number, subject, and message. Information submitted through the embedded Google Form is also processed under Google's Privacy Policy.

1.4 Career applications

If you are interested in joining our team, you will be directed to our recruitment platform, which is operated separately and has its own privacy practices.

2. Third-Party Services

The Website embeds or links to the following third-party services, each of which may collect data under its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager — website usage analytics
• Google Translate — on-page content translation
• Facebook — the embedded Facebook Page widget, and the Facebook Messenger chat link
• LINE Official Account — the LINE chat link
• Cloudflare Turnstile — bot-verification when submitting forms
• ip-api.com — approximate country lookup from IP address

3. Purposes and Lawful Bases for Processing

We process your personal data under the following lawful bases pursuant to the PDPA:

• Consent: To respond to your inquiries submitted via our contact channels and for non-essential analytics cookies.
• Legitimate Interests: To improve website performance, analyze site traffic trends, and protect our systems against security threats, automated bots, and unauthorized access.
• Legal Obligation: To comply with relevant legal obligations and statutory requirements.

4. Disclosure and Cross-Border Transfer of Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. We may share necessary data with service providers listed in Section 2 to operate the Website effectively. Some data may be processed on secure servers located outside Thailand (such as cloud services provided by Google and Cloudflare), with adequate data protection standards in compliance with the PDPA.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law.

6. Your Rights Under PDPA

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to: (1) access and request a copy of your personal data; (2) request correction of inaccurate data; (3) request deletion or destruction of your data; (4) request restriction of processing; (5) object to collection, use, or disclosure of your data; and (6) withdraw consent at any time.

We will evaluate and respond to your request within 30 days of receiving your verified submission. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 8.

7. Security Measures

We apply reasonable technical safeguards to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access to data on a need-to-know basis, and automated monitoring to detect and block unauthorized or malicious access attempts.
