6 Mar 2025 SIA "VSV ZOO"Pet shop VSV ZOO fails to respond to review of privacy policy – 500 EUR LatviaData subject rights and transparency €500

As part of a preventive review of the privacy policy on zoopasaule.lv, the Datu valsts inspekcija (Latvian Data State Inspectorate, DVI) repeatedly asked the online pet retailer for information from July 2024 onwards. The company let the first deadlines lapse, later twice asked for an extension citing the absence of its programmer, and still did not deliver thereafter. The DVI imposed 500 EUR for failure to cooperate with the supervisory authority.

What organisations can take from it

A preventive request from the supervisory authority is also binding – anyone who does not respond is sanctioned before the actual deficiency is even addressed.
