IAS Advisory co-founder Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul was pleased to lead practical sessions on data mapping and privacy risks at Kasetsart University‘s recent Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) seminar and workshop.
The event, titled “Managing and implementing personal data protection in educational institutions under the PDPA,” took place on Friday 13th September and was led by Assistant Professor Dr Ngamlamai Piolueang, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, who opened proceedings and awarded certificates to participants.
The purpose of the event was to highlight the importance of the PDPA. Given the large personal information stores and data flows in universities and other educational establishments, it is essential for staff to be aware of the practices and regulations that govern data protection to avoid misuse and ensure owners’ consent is obtained prior to data being used for any purpose.
Anuwat’s practical sessions also covered how to create necessary documents, such as consent forms and data processing agreements, and how to properly implement related policies.
Thank you to Kasetsart University for the invitation to join and for the opportunity to show how the PDPA works in practice. The PDPA is based on the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, so there are important similarities – but also distinctions that need to be clearly understood and applied carefully in real-world situations and workplace environments.
