2 Jul 2026 SIA 4YOU MEBELESFurniture retailer 4YOU MEBELES ignores cookie inspection – first a reprimand, then 1,000 EUR €1,000
In a targeted inspection of cookies on company websites, the Datu valsts inspekcija (Latvian Data State Inspectorate, DVI) found fault with the site 4mebeles.lv. After a reprimand in February 2026, the company claimed that the deficiencies had been remedied, which a further inspection disproved; further requests for information went unanswered. The DVI imposed 1,000 EUR for failure to cooperate and requested the missing information by 3 August 2026.
Assurances given to the supervisory authority are checked – false statements and silence aggravate the sanction.

31 Oct 2025 "MAXIMA Latvija" SIAMaxima Latvija pays 1.87 million EUR for price pressure on food suppliers €1.87m
From November 2021 to August 2024, the retailer (market share 28%) put pressure on economically dependent suppliers: price increases remained unapproved for months, lower prices were demanded in the form of ultimatums and delisting was threatened. The Konkurences padome (Latvian Competition Council) found an unfair trading practice, imposed 1,872,805 EUR and set clear deadlines for negotiations.
Purchasing departments of retailers with strong market power need clear rules for price negotiations – threats of delisting are off limits.

6 Mar 2025 SIA "VSV ZOO"Pet shop VSV ZOO fails to respond to review of privacy policy – 500 EUR €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.
A preventive request from the supervisory authority is also binding – anyone who does not respond is sanctioned before the actual deficiency is even addressed.

10 Jun 2024 SIA "Mirastyle"Lighting retailer Mirastyle imposes resale prices and allocates projects €34,490
The exclusive distributor of several lighting brands asked retailers by e-mail to align their prices with its ‘recommendations’ and threatened to stop supplies otherwise. It also exchanged information about projects with competing retailers and refused orders for projects planned by others. The Konkurences padome (Latvian Competition Council) imposed 34,490.26 EUR.
‘Recommended’ prices enforced by supply stops are prohibited resale price maintenance.
