Users of mobile and digital services who own the data can choose to give consent regarding to privacy at 2 levels: 1. Service contract (main purpose) – Use information only for purposes related to providing telecommunications services or main services, and 2. To give consent or allow the use of data for other purposes to receive benefits that meet individual needs. True or dtac applications, for example, may notify customers about the opportunity to redeem some benefits for free. True as a mobile and digital service provider is just only the “Personal Data Controller” who must oversee, control and use the data as much as consent has been given and only for the purposes notified to the customer. This is in line with True’s ambition to drive the respect for human rights in the business process throughout the supply chain which is an important dimension, leading to True Corporation is ranked number one in the S&P Global\u2019s Corporate Sustainability Assessment and listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices 2023 in the telecommunications category for the 6th consecutive year.”, Mr. Montri concluded.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
