Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Bequesta is an estate organising education and community facilitation organisation. Our principal place of activity is:

35 Thanon Phetchaburi, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +66 93 582 1746

2. Information We Collect

We may collect and hold the following categories of personal information:

• Contact information — name, email address, and telephone number provided through our enquiry form or workshop registration.
• Correspondence — messages and notes from communications you send to us by email or through our website.
• Usage data — browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website, collected automatically via cookies or similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details.
• Workshop participation details — your attendance record and session preferences, where you have registered for one of our programmes.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as financial account details, government identification numbers, or health information) unless you choose to share such details voluntarily when making a booking inquiry, in which case we handle it with particular care and delete it once it is no longer needed.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

• To respond to enquiries you send via our contact form or by email.
• To confirm workshop registrations and send relevant session information.
• To send occasional updates about upcoming programmes, where you have given us permission to do so.
• To improve the content and usability of our website based on aggregated, non-identifiable usage data.
• To comply with any legal obligations that apply to our activities in Thailand.

We do not use your information for automated profiling or for any purpose incompatible with those listed above.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Your consent — for example, when you tick the privacy agreement box on our contact form or agree to receive newsletters.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries and improve our services, where these interests are not outweighed by your privacy rights.
• Legal obligation — where we are required by Thai law or other applicable regulation to retain certain records.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted suppliers who help us operate our website and deliver sessions (for example, email delivery services), under confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements — if we are required by law, court order, or government authority to disclose information.
• Business continuity — in the unlikely event of a transfer of our organisation's activities, where we would notify you in advance.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies to understand how visitors use our pages and to remember preferences. You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time through the cookie settings banner on our homepage. For full details of the cookies we use, please read our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. In practice:

• Enquiry and contact form data is held for up to 24 months from the date of last contact.
• Workshop registration records are held for up to 36 months.
• Cookie and analytics data is held in line with the retention periods described in our Cookie Policy.

When data is no longer required it is securely deleted or anonymised.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transferred between your browser and our server. Access to personal information within our organisation is restricted to those who need it in order to carry out their responsibilities.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot provide an absolute guarantee. If you have concerns about a specific communication, you are welcome to contact us by telephone.

9. International Transfers

Our website is hosted and operated primarily within Thailand. Where we use third-party service providers based in other countries, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections recognised under Thai personal data-protection law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of information we hold about you, where we have no legal obligation to retain it.
• Object to or ask us to restrict certain types of processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.
• Lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority in Thailand.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] or by calling +66 93 582 1746. We will respond within a reasonable time and in any event within the period required by applicable law.

11. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to external sites operated by third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external website you visit.

12. Children

Our website and workshops are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of 18. If you believe we have inadvertently received information from a minor, please contact us and we will take prompt steps to delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
