(Photo: Varuth Hirunyatheb)The Royal Thai Police (RTP) has issued a set of recommendations on the use of personal photos, videos and other files without violating the new Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which will come into effect on Wednesday. Under the new law, people can post pictures and video clips of themselves with others for personal purposes online, without the intention of commercial gain or causing damage, he said. Pol Col Siriwat said the RTP had issued the clarification about the new law in a bid to help people understand the details. In addition, the installation of interior CCTV cameras does not require a warning sign if they are for security purposes, Pol Col Siriwat said. In principle, the PDPA law is meant to protect the personal data of organisations against being used for commercial gain or malicious intent, Pol Gen Damrongsak said.
