• IP address
• date and time of access
• requested pages and files
• referring website or URL

• operating system and device information
• language and similar technical settings

Technical operation

Web hosting

This website is hosted using services provided by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Germany.

When the website is accessed, the hosting infrastructure may process technical connection and server-log information required to deliver the requested content, maintain system security, detect technical problems and protect the website against misuse or attacks.

This processing may include information such as the requesting IP address, date and time, requested resource, browser information, operating system and technical error or status information.

Server-log data is used for technical operation and security purposes and is not used by us to create personal visitor profiles.

You can find further information about the hosting provider’s handling of personal data in the
ALL-INKL.COM privacy information.

Your privacy choices

Cookies and consent management

This website uses cookies and similar browser technologies. Some are necessary for the technical operation of the website or for storing privacy preferences. Other technologies may be used for advertising or third-party content only where permitted and, where required, after you have given consent.

We use Complianz to manage cookie and privacy preferences. Complianz may store functional information in cookies or browser storage so that the website can remember whether you have made a consent choice and which categories or services you have allowed.

Consent information used for this purpose is designed to record your privacy choice rather than to build an advertising profile about you.

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings available on this website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

More detailed information about individual cookies, services, purposes and storage periods is provided in our
Cookie Policy.

Advertising

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this website.

Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, IP addresses, device information and other identifiers or technologies to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, limit how often advertisements are shown and perform related advertising functions.

Depending on your location, your consent choices and the applicable advertising settings, advertisements may be personalised or non-personalised.

Personalised advertising may take account of information about previous visits to this or other websites and other information used to determine advertising interests. Non-personalised advertising is primarily based on contextual information, such as the content being viewed and approximate location, although cookies or similar technologies may still be used for functions such as frequency capping and aggregated advertising reporting.

Where applicable law requires consent for advertising cookies or similar technologies, these services should only be activated according to the choices you make through our consent-management system.

Third-party vendors and advertising networks may also use cookies or similar technologies in connection with advertisements displayed on the website where this is permitted by the applicable settings and your consent choices.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from websites and apps that use its services by visiting
How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

You can manage Google’s advertising personalisation settings through
Google Ads Settings.

Embedded content

Google Maps

Some embassy and consulate pages include embedded Google Maps to help visitors locate diplomatic and consular missions.

Loading an embedded Google Map may result in a connection to Google services. In this process, technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information and information about the page containing the map may be transmitted to Google. Google may also use cookies or other storage technologies in connection with its services.

Where consent is required, Google Maps content should remain blocked until you choose to allow the relevant service or cookie category through our consent-management system.

If you activate or interact with Google Maps, Google’s own privacy terms and data-processing practices apply to the service.

Further information is available in the
Google Privacy Policy.

Search performance

Google Search Console

We use Google Search Console to monitor the technical visibility and performance of this website in Google Search.

Google Search Console provides website operators with information about matters such as search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing and technical website issues. It does not require us to place a Google Search Console tracking cookie on visitors’ devices simply for the use of the Search Console service.

Search-related information made available to us through Search Console is used to understand and improve the website’s presence and technical performance in Google Search.

Why data is processed

Legal bases for processing

Depending on the circumstances and the law applicable to you, personal data may be processed on one or more of the following grounds:

• Consent: where you have actively agreed to optional cookies, advertising technologies, embedded services or similar processing.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain and improve the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
• Legal obligations: where processing or retention is required to comply with applicable law.
• Responding to your request: where information is needed to answer an enquiry that you send to us directly.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent for future processing at any time.

Global services

International data transfers

The website operator is based in Thailand, while some service providers used by this website operate from or process data in other countries.

Google and other technology providers may process information using infrastructure located in different countries. As a result, information associated with the use of these services may be processed outside the country in which you are located.

Where data-protection law requires specific safeguards for international transfers, the relevant service provider or responsible party should use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism or another legally permitted basis for the transfer.

Data minimisation

How long is data retained?

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for website security and technical operation, or where a longer period is required by law.

Different third-party services may apply their own retention periods. Information about cookies and similar technologies, including available storage durations where known, is provided through our cookie information and the privacy documentation of the relevant service provider.

Email correspondence may be retained for as long as necessary to respond to the enquiry, maintain an appropriate record of the communication or establish, exercise or defend legal claims where necessary.

Data protection rights

Depending on the data-protection law that applies to you, you may have rights in relation to your personal data. These may include the right to:

• request information about personal data processed about you;
• request access to your personal data;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
• request deletion of personal data in applicable circumstances;
• request restriction of certain processing;
