When you send a gift you give us someone else’s name, address and sometimes phone number. We use it only to deliver that order and we delete it on the same schedule as the order record. We never add a recipient to a marketing list. You are responsible for having a legitimate reason to give us their details — under the PDPA that is your obligation as the person disclosing them, not ours.
We do not sell personal data. Ever. We share the minimum necessary with:
Each processor is bound by contract to use the data only on our instructions.
Our infrastructure sits in Thailand, but content delivery and DNS are handled by a global network, so data may transit servers outside Thailand and outside the EEA. Where that happens we rely on the recipient’s adequacy status, standard contractual clauses, or your explicit consent, as required by PDPA section 28 and GDPR Chapter V.
Under the PDPA and, where it applies, the GDPR, you may:
Email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days. There is no charge unless a request is manifestly excessive.
If we have not resolved something, you can complain to Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC), or — if you are in the EEA — to your national supervisory authority. We would much rather you came to us first.
The site runs over TLS end to end. Our infrastructure is containerised with no service running as root, no publicly reachable database or cache, and administrative and API surfaces restricted to the host itself. Credentials are stored as files with restricted permissions, never in environment variables or source control. Access to personal data is limited to staff who need it.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever suffer a breach likely to result in risk to your rights, we will notify the PDPC within 72 hours and tell you directly where the risk is high.
Set out separately in our Cookie Policy. Nothing non-essential is set before you choose.
We will update this page when our processing changes and revise the date at the top. Material changes will be notified directly where we hold your contact details.
We use essential cookies to run the shop and your cart. With your permission we also use analytics cookies to understand which products people look for. Cookie Policy · Privacy Policy
Under Thailand's PDPA and the EU GDPR you decide what we may store on your device. Essential cookies cannot be switched off — without them the cart and checkout do not work.
Strictly necessary — always on
