Please note that the UK's laws are similar to those in the EEA, and customers from both jurisdictions have very similar rights. Accordingly, references to the GDPR in this Chapter should also be read as references to corresponding UK law.
The consent shall be given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility in the event that a customer under the age of 16 uses ANA's service. The data subject's consent to this Privacy Policy must be obtained in the event that a person such as family member applies for ANA's service on behalf of the data subject.
In the event that any provisions of this Chapter 2 contradict those of Chapter 1, the provisions of this Chapter 2 shall prevail.

The controller of your personal data is ANA.
ANA protects personal data which is collected and used by controllers (who make decisions about how and why your personal data is used) and processors (who act on the controller's written instructions) on the basis of Data Protection Laws.
3. Our legal basis for processing personal data
ANA protects your personal data by ensuring that it can only be used to the extent necessary for specific purposes (as set out in Part 3 of Chapter 1 of this Privacy Policy) and by requiring that there is a legal basis for each processing activity on the basis of Data Protection Laws.

5.Objecting: You can object to processing which is carried out on the basis of our or a third party's legitimate interests or for the purpose of direct marketing. We will stop processing your information unless we have a strong reason to continue which overrides your objection. If your objection is to direct marketing, we will always stop.
6. Restrictions. You can restrict how we process your personal data in certain circumstances. Where this applies, any processing of your personal data (other than storing it) will only be lawful with your consent or where required for legal claims, protecting certain rights or important public interest reasons.
7. Withdrawal of consent. If we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Please note, the rights set out above are not absolute and do not apply in every situation. There are also legal exemptions which apply in some situations and mean a request may be refused. Of course, if a request is refused we will inform you of the reasons for this when we respond.
Records of requests made to us will be retained so that we can ensure we have complied with our legal obligations.

Chapter 5. Handling of personal data of Thailand residents by ANA
1. Introduction
This Chapter 5 provides additional information about the collection, use, or disclosure ("processing") of personal data of customers and other individuals in the Kingdom of Thailand ("Thailand") in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act of Thailand B.E. 2562 (A.D. 2019) ("PDPA").
If consent is required for processing of personal data relevant to the use of ANA's services of data subjects who are minors, quasi-incompetents or incompetents under the law of Thailand and cannot lawfully give consent by themselves, consent of the holder of parental responsibility over the child, their curators or custodians (as the case may be) shall also be obtained. If data subjects are under the age of 10, only consent of the holder of parental responsibility shall be obtained.
If ANA is not aware that the data subjects are minors, quasi-incompetent persons or incompetent persons prior to the collection of their personal data, upon learning that we have collected personal data of minors without the consent of the holder of parental responsibility over the child (when it is required and the minors cannot lawfully give consent by themselves), or from quasi-incompetent persons and incompetent persons without the consent of their legal curator and custodian, we will delete the personal data at the earliest convenience unless we can rely on other legal grounds apart from consent for such processing.
The data subject's consent to this Privacy Policy must be obtained in the event that a person such as family member or an agent authorized to act on its behalf applies for ANA's service on behalf of the data subject.
In the event that any provisions of this Chapter 5 contradict those of Chapter 1, the provisions of this Chapter 5 shall prevail.
2. The controller of personal data
The controller of your personal data is ANA.
ANA protects personal data which is collected and used by controllers (who make decisions about how and why your personal data is used) and processors (who act on the controller's written instructions) on the basis of the PDPA.
3. Our legal basis for processing personal data
ANA protects your personal data by ensuring that it can only be used to the extent necessary for specific purposes (as set out in Part 3 of Chapter 1 of this Privacy Policy) and by requiring that there is a legal basis for each processing activity on the basis of the PDPA.
ANA may process customer personal data on one or more of the following legal basis:
(1) When your consent is obtained to the processing (Article 19 PDPA)
Consent will usually only be relied upon for promotional and marketing related processing, or in some cases, in relation to sensitive personal data.
(2) When processing is necessary in order to perform or take steps to enter into a contract (Article 24(3) PDPA).
This is typically why we process customer information which is essential to providing our services, including a customer's identity, contact, payment, etc.
(3) ANA needs to process the information to comply with a legal obligation (Article 24(6) PDPA).
This includes the requirement to share personal data with customs and immigration authorities or law enforcement, as well ANA's legal obligations towards its staff and customers.
(4) The information is required to protect your, or a third party's, vital interests (Article 24(2) PDPA), for example in the event of a medical emergency.
(5) It is in ANA's or a third party's legitimate interests to process the personal data, and these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights regarding your personal data under the law (Article 24(5) PDPA).
This includes the use of personal data necessary to operate ANA's business and also to maintain, develop and improve its goods and services to the extent permissible under the PDPA.
4. Request for processing of personal data
(1) The PDPA provides you with the following legal rights:
1.Request for disclosure: You can request copies of your personal data and details of how we process it.
2.Request for correction or updating: Corrections or updates to personal data will be undertaken wherever possible after due review of the request.
3.Request for erasure: You may request that we erase, destroy or anonymize all or part of the personal data we hold about you. We will consider your request and, where the information is no longer required or the law does not permit us to continue to retain it, we will delete it.
4.Transferring your personal data: You can request a copy of your personal data in a structured, common, machine-readable format. This only applies to personal data which we obtain from you and process on the basis of your consent or in order to perform a contract, and which is processed by automated means.
5.Objecting to processing: You can object to processing which is carried out on the basis of our or a third party's legitimate interests or for the purpose of direct marketing. We will stop processing your information unless we have a legitimate reason to continue which overrides your objection. If your objection is to direct marketing, we will always stop.
6.Restricting how your personal data is processed. You can limit how we process your personal data in certain circumstances. Where this applies, any processing of your personal data (other than storing it) will only be lawful with your consent or where required for legal claims, protecting certain rights or important public interest reasons.
7.The right to withdraw consent.
If we are relying on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
However, the withdrawal of consent shall not affect the processing of your personal data that you have already given consent legally before it is withdrawn.
Please note, the rights set out above are not absolute and do not apply in every situation. There are also legal exemptions which apply in some situations and mean a request may be refused.
Of course, if a request is refused we will inform you of the reasons for this when we respond.
Records of requests made to us will be retained so that we can ensure we have complied with our legal obligations.
(2) Method for submitting a request
You can exercise your rights free of charge (except in the case where expenses may be chargeable under the PDPA). The method for submitting a request and contact information are as follows.

If your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, it may take longer to provide a detailed response. Please also bear in mind that there are exceptions to the rights above and some situations where they do not apply.
If you are not satisfied with our response to a data protection request or if you think your personal data has not been processed appropriately, then you have the right to file a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Committee of Thailand. Please see Part 9 of this Chapter 5 ("Lodging a complaint with an authority") for further details.
5. Data sharing which is necessary to provide goods or services

6. Marketing communications
ANA sends out marketing communications from time to time to notify interested persons of news and provide details of goods and services which may be of interest to them. ANA will only do this if the recipient has consented to receive marketing communications.
7. Where your personal data is stored and transferred
ANA is located in Japan and many of the service providers and other organizations with whom we share your personal data will be located in jurisdictions outside Thailand.
When transferring personal data to third parties, ANA will ensure that it complies with the requirements of the PDPA and related Japanese laws.
However, you should be aware that recipients outside Thailand may be subject to national laws which do not necessarily provide equivalent protection for your personal data. If you would like more information regarding where your personal data is stored and transferred please contact ANA using the details set out in Part 13 of this Chapter 1 ("Submission of a request for disclosure, etc.").
8. Retention of personal data
