Abstract
In this digital era, vehicle GPS tracking has been implemented to improve the performance and efficiency in logistics industry where vehicle needs to travel across the land and countries from one location to another in order to deliver goods and services. Various data, including driver’s behavior and personal data, has been collected to use as a tool and catalyst to promote growth and enhance the logistic operational system. As a global trend of digital transformation emerges, countries around the world are setting rules and regulations on how to process personal data to protect data subject fundamental right and freedom. As a part of a growing economy, Thailand has implemented Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), B.E. 2562 (2019) which went into effect on the 1st of June 2022. PDPA brought a new set of rules to protect data subject fundamental right and freedom by regulating how organization process personal data. As vehicle GPS tracking collects personal data, PDPA is applied. Thus, organization with such technology needs to assess and determine the line of work in compliance to PDPA through legitimate interest assessment.
