Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
Verified Thai (https://verifiedthai.com) is an independent directory of Thailand-based businesses (Muay Thai gyms, yoga studios, spas, dive shops, cooking schools, coworking spaces, and wellness venues). This page explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have.
1. Business listing data
Almost everything on this site β business names, addresses, ratings, review excerpts, photos β is aggregated from public sources (Google Maps/Search, Reddit, Naver, Pantip, YouTube) and describes businesses, not individual site visitors. If you believe your personal information appears on this site in a review excerpt or photo and want it removed, contact us (see Section 7).
2. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic β which pages get visited, from which country/language, and how people navigate the site. GA4 uses cookies and similar technologies and may collect your IP address, device type, and browsing behavior on this site. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data.
3. Advertising
Verified Thai is funded by display advertising. Once our advertising partner (Google AdSense) is active on this site, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or generally at aboutads.info/choices.
4. Inquiry and booking forms
When you send an inquiry or booking request to a listed business through this site, we collect the name, email, phone number, and message you provide. This is sent directly to the business (and, for operational monitoring, to us) so they can respond to you β it is not sold or used for advertising. We keep a record of inquiries to prevent abuse (rate limiting) and to show business owners their inquiry history.
5. Account sign-in
Business owners who claim a listing sign in via a one-time email link (no password). We store your email address and account activity (claims, listing edits) in our database to operate the owner dashboard. We do not share this with advertisers.
6. Local storage (wishlist, recently viewed)
Features like your saved wishlist and recently-viewed places are stored only in your browser's local storage β never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data removes them.
7. Your choices & contact
You can use most of this site without providing any personal information. To ask about data we hold about you, request removal of content, or ask a question about this policy, contact us via the About & Contact page.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site's analytics or advertising setup changes. Material changes will update the "Last updated" date above.
