Privacy policy

First Light Bangkok is a free email newsletter. This page explains what data we hold and why. The short version: we store your email address to send you the newsletter you asked for, and nothing else.

Who is responsible

First Light Bangkok, reachable at hello@firstlightbangkok.com. Contact details are on the imprint page.

What we collect and why

• Your email address, when you subscribe. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and Thailand's PDPA). We use double opt-in, so you only join the list after confirming via email. We store the time and source of your consent.
• Newsletter statistics such as opens and clicks, collected by our sending provider. We use them only to see whether the newsletter works.
• Standard server logs when you visit this site (IP address, time, page), kept briefly by our hosting provider for security. This site sets no cookies.

Who processes it

• Brevo (Sendinblue GmbH, Germany) stores the subscriber list and sends the emails, on servers in the EU.
• Vercel hosts this website.

We never sell or share your address with anyone else.

How long we keep it

Until you unsubscribe. Every issue contains a one click unsubscribe link; withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. After unsubscribing, your address is kept only on a suppression list so we do not email you again.

Your rights

You can ask for access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your data at any time, and you can complain to a supervisory authority. Email hello@firstlightbangkok.com and we will sort it out.
