Welcome to HappyTest.shop (“Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Happy Test Shop (“Company”). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We comply with the Thai Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and other applicable laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your personal data when you visit or make a purchase through our Website. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and consented to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website or our services.
By accessing or using any part of the Website, you confirm your acceptance of this Privacy Policy in its entirety. Any unauthorized use of our Website, breach of these terms, or unlawful act affecting our operations may result in legal action under the laws of Thailand and, where applicable, other jurisdictions. The Company expressly reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law or in equity, including injunctive relief and the pursuit of damages.
2. Scope and Purpose
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and customers (collectively, “you” or “your“), including individuals who reside or access our services from outside Thailand. We process your personal data in accordance with the Thai Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) and any other applicable regulations.
By utilizing our Website or services, you agree that this Privacy Policy governs all data processing activities related to your interaction with us, no matter where you access the Website from. Given the nature of our offerings—harm-reduction testing kits—we emphasize that we do not promote, condone, or facilitate the illicit use or consumption of drugs. Minors (under 18 years of age) are strictly prohibited from purchasing or using our services, as per our Terms & Conditions.
We do not collect personal data without due reason or beyond the purposes specified in this Policy, and we employ safeguards to ensure data is used only for those stated purposes.

Any such disclosure will comply with Thai PDPA and other applicable laws.

We retain your personal data as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes stated in this Policy or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations under Thai law. Retention periods are as follows:

Data marked for deletion is permanently erased from active and backup systems unless subject to legal hold or similar obligations.
