In some circumstances, Esso will have to disclose Personal Data to other third parties, including competent authorities, legal advisors, operators of Esso-branded fuel stations, and other business partners who process the Personal Data on their behalf, for instance if such transfer is required by law or legal process, in order to defend Esso's rights or to adequately handle individuals' complaints and requests.
If Personal Data is shared with a third party or an Esso outside Thailand, the conditions regarding data transfers, see Section 8 below, apply in addition to the requirements of this section.
Esso may obtain the Personal Data from, and/or provide or transfer the Personal Data to, the operator(s) of the participating Service Stations, its Affiliates and third parties that provide (whether directly or otherwise) administrative, business and operational support or marketing, research, data storage/processing, telemarketing, telecommunications, IT, payment or other services to Esso and its Affiliates (collectively, “Specified Third Parties”) in connection with the purposes stated in Section 5 above within or outside Thailand.
Esso may transfer some or all of the Personal Data to servers located worldwide and will make that Personal Data accessible to other Esso Affiliates, some of which are located in third countries that may not be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection of the Personal Data, in accordance with applicable law.
The transfer of Personal Data from Thailand to recipients located outside Thailand is subject to restrictions. Esso has taken steps so that Personal Data receives an adequate level of data protection at all Esso Affiliates’ locations.
When transferring Personal Data to third parties, Esso puts in place safeguards to ensure that the third party adequately protects the Personal Data.

Furthermore, you also have the right to: withdraw your consent, should you wish to revoke consent; have inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data rectified; restrict the Processing of your Personal Data, under certain circumstances; object to the Processing operations, having regard to the given circumstances and for reasons related to their particular situation; or have Personal Data erased when such data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected, in accordance with applicable law.
