Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, remember your preferences, and deliver targeted content. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how you use our site. We use both session-based and persistent cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled. For detailed information about how we use cookies, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses encryption for sensitive data transmission, secure payment processing systems, and restricted access to personal information. However, no method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
Supervisory Authority
If you believe we have violated your privacy rights or data protection regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. In Latvia, the competent authority is the Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija). You can submit a complaint through their official website or contact them directly. Filing a complaint does not prevent you from seeking other legal remedies.
