7. cross-border transfers.

we use subprocessors located outside Thailand (Vercel, Stripe, Supabase, Resend, Wise). PDPA Section 28 transfers rely on PDPC-recognised mechanisms: standard contractual clauses with the subprocessor where adopted, binding corporate rules where available, or explicit consent under Section 28(7) when neither applies. the EU-US Data Privacy Framework is not a valid mechanism under PDPA. transfer mechanism documents are available on request.
