Plain-language policy
Privacy
Collect less, explain why, and keep private submissions out of public pages until a deliberate moderation decision.
What the live forms store
Corrections: the listing, proposed change, supporting detail or link, moderation state, submission time, and a one-way requester hash used for abuse limits. No name or email is requested.
Forum: the chosen alias, board, title or reply, moderation state, submission time, and the same kind of one-way requester hash. Pending content is private; public pages contain only editorial seeds or posts a moderator has approved.
Partner and private requests: request name, reply email, optional website, request type, message, consent, moderation state, submission time, and requester hash. This intake is private and is not used to change organic rank.
Retention and recipients
Form records are stored on the Thailand Directory server and reviewed by the Thailand Directory operator. They are not sold or posted publicly by default. Request details may be used to respond; they are not forwarded to an unnamed provider.
Requester hashes are cleared after 30 days. Unpublished or rejected community submissions are deleted after 90 days, private partner inquiries after 180 days, and correction records after two years. Approved forum posts remain public until archived or removed; moderation audit events may be kept for two years. Access-restricted online backups rotate after 30 days.
Your choices and contact route
To ask for access, correction, deletion, or withdrawal, use the private request form, choose “Privacy or another private request,” and enter “Privacy request” as the request name. Include only the reference and date needed to locate the record. The operator may verify the requesting email before acting.
High-stakes information
Do not submit passports, identity documents, medical records, payment-card details, private home addresses, or information about another person. Thailand Directory does not request these through public forms.
