Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 May 2025

Balanco ("we", "us", "our") is a watch repair workshop located at 203 Sukhumvit 24, Khlong Tan, Bangkok 10110, Thailand. This policy explains how we handle personal information provided to us when you use our website at balanco.world or contact us about a service.

We collect only the information needed to carry out or respond to a service enquiry. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Questions about this policy may be sent to [email protected].

1. Data we collect

When you submit the contact form on our website, we collect your name, email address, and any phone number or message content you choose to provide. These fields are used solely to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to manage a service job.

When you visit the website, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, and pages accessed. This data is used only for operational purposes and is not linked to personal identity.

If you accept analytics cookies, we collect anonymised data about pages visited and time spent on the site to understand how the website is used. This is processed by a third-party analytics provider and does not identify you personally.

  • Name (required for contact form)
  • Email address (required for contact form)
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Message content (optional)
  • Anonymised website usage data (if analytics cookies accepted)

2. How we use your data

Contact form submissions are used to respond to your enquiry and, if a service is booked, to manage that job — including communicating updates, scope changes, and collection arrangements.

We do not use your contact details for unsolicited marketing. We will not contact you after a job is complete unless you have asked us to or you initiate contact.

Anonymised analytics data is used to understand which pages are useful and to improve the website. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining an effective website.

The legal basis for processing contact form data is your consent (given by submitting the form) and, where a service contract results, the necessity of performing that contract.

3. Data protection measures

Our website is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions are transmitted using encrypted connections. Stored data is held on access-controlled servers.

We retain contact form data for up to twelve months after the last interaction, after which it is deleted. Job records for completed service work are retained for up to three years for warranty and documentation purposes, then deleted unless you request otherwise.

Access to personal data is limited to workshop staff directly involved in the relevant job. In the event of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify affected individuals within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

4. Cookies

Our website uses essential cookies to function correctly (e.g., storing your cookie preference). Optional analytics and preference cookies are only set if you accept them via the consent banner.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

5. Your rights

Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA), you have the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Erasure: Request deletion of your data where we have no ongoing legal basis for retaining it.
  • Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest.
  • Withdraw consent: Withdraw consent for processing at any time, without affecting prior lawful processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC), Thailand.

6. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to external sites. Balanco is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any site you visit.

7. Children's privacy

Our services are intended for individuals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data through our website, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

8. Policy updates

If we make material changes to this policy, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the website after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For significant changes affecting your rights, we will notify you by email if we hold your contact details.
