1. Introduction

Tawan Wela ("we", "us", "our") is a watch repair workshop operating at 73 Thawewong Road, Patong, Phuket 83150, Thailand. We take the privacy of anyone who contacts us or uses our website seriously, and this policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it.

This policy applies to information collected through our website at tawanwela.sbs, through our contact form, and through direct communication by phone or email. By using our website or contacting us, you agree to the practices described here.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to your enquiry and carry out the service you've requested:

  • Name — to address you correctly and identify your service record
  • Email address — to respond to enquiries and provide service updates
  • Phone number — if provided, for follow-up on service status or collection
  • Message content — details of your watch and the service you're enquiring about
  • Technical data — IP address, browser type, pages visited, collected automatically by our hosting provider for security and performance purposes
  • Cookie data — see Section 5 for details

We do not collect payment card details through our website. Any payment is handled in person at the workshop.

3. How and Why We Use Your Data

We use the information you provide for the following purposes:

  • Responding to your service enquiry
  • Providing updates during the repair or servicing process
  • Contacting you when your watch is ready for collection
  • Maintaining service records for our own reference and continuity
  • Improving our website based on usage patterns (analytics)

The legal basis for processing your data is either consent (when you submit a form), legitimate interest (maintaining service records and responding to enquiries), or contract performance (when a service is agreed and carried out). We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes, and we do not send promotional messages without your explicit request.

We retain contact and service records for up to three years from the date of last contact or service, after which they are deleted.

4. Data Protection and Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you share with us:

  • Website data is transmitted over HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption)
  • Access to stored contact records is limited to the small number of people who need it to carry out workshop operations
  • We do not store payment details electronically
  • We review our data handling practices periodically

While no online system can guarantee complete security, we make reasonable efforts to protect data from unauthorised access or disclosure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you without undue delay where we are required to do so under applicable law.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Policy page. Consent is stored in your browser's local storage and can be withdrawn at any time.
