本法律简报旨在概述泰国个人数据保护委员会(“PDPC”)于 2025 年 9 月 29 日发布的《企业约束性规则的审查与认证条例〔佛历2568年(2025年)〕》(“BCR条例”)。以下为BCR条例的主要原则及规定。 1.  总则、适用范围及定义 BCR条例确立了用于审查与认证企业约束性规则(“BCR”)的指引,而BCR构成泰国《个人数据保护法〔佛历2562年(2019年)〕》(“PDPA”)第29条项下的一种个人数据跨境传输机制。BCR条例适用于针对数据控制者的BCR(“BCR-C”),即成员以数据控制者身份进行个人数据传输与处理的情形;BCR条例也适用于针对数据处理者的BCR(“BCR-P”),即成员代表外部数据控制者处理个人数据的情形(BCR条例第2条)。 BCR条例规定了“承担责任的BCR成员”,指设立在泰国境内的明确同意就其境外成员所实施的违规行为承担责任并支付赔偿的企业集团成员。该规定旨在确保泰国境内的数据主体在泰国拥有有效的投诉渠道及法律救济途径。此外,BCR条例明确规定了第三方受益人权利,使数据主体能够像协议方一样,依据BCR直接向相关成员主张并行使其权利(BCR 条例第2条)。 2.  申请人资格及提交渠道 申请人须为同一关联企业或企业集团的成员,并须依据泰国法律设立且在泰国境内具有实体存在。申请人可以是该企业集团在泰国设立的总部,或在未设立泰国总部的情况下,申请人是被指定在泰国境内负责个人数据保护事务的成员。申请可直接提交至个人数据保护委员会办公室(“OPDPC”),提交方式包括邮寄、电子邮件,或通过OPDPC指定的其他渠道提交(BCR条例第7条及第9条)。 3. 申请文件 申请文件及相关支持性文件必须以泰文提交。如原始文件为外文文件,须提交经认证并公证的泰文译本。申请文件包括: (1) 载明 BCR...
