The Roles of the Constitutional Court in Protecting the Rights to Privacy of Personal Information Held in Public and Private Agencies

Abstract

The right to personal information was recognized as a fundamental right in 2017 and was safeguarded by 32 sections of the Thai Constitution. These days, the right to personal information is essential to setting up the work schedule and all section operations. As a result, it's likely that both the state and the private sector may experience a violation of rights to personal information. Since the Constitutional Court is the body tasked with defending the rights of the Thai people, there are very few aspects of the constitution and legislation that are taken into account when a victim brings a case before the court. They no longer play as much of a role in defending the rights to personal information because commercial and state sectors set the rules. Nonetheless, the Constitutional Court is regarded as the key institution that laid the groundwork for safeguarding the rights to personal information. In order to obtain the proper ruling to safeguard Thailand's right to personal information, they will thus apply international standards, such as self-determination of personal information and proportionality, to the inquest.
