      2. How does LMT obtain personal data

      2.1. Information that we obtain about a person depends on the content of a transaction, including the service requested or received. We also process information obtained within the framework of any form of cooperation, for example, from a client or cooperation partner. 

      2.2. We can obtain personal data in several ways, for example:

         2.2.1. A data subject provided his/her personal data to LMT himself/herself, namely, the data subject or his/her authorized representative has contacted or cooperated with LMT, for example, by requesting a transaction, by signing a contract, using LMT services, signing up for newsletters, requesting information or submitting a specific question or request, visiting LMT Customer Centres, contacting us via LMT information channels, including LMT site My LMT, social networks, participating in events or activities organized or supported by LMT, participating in contests, lotteries or surveys.

         2.2.2. Data are generated using LMT services or network, for example, by making calls, sending e-mails or visiting or using LMT websites and apps. For example, the use of electronic communication services generates traffic data (electronic communications metadata), and we process it in accordance with the applicable law.   

         2.2.3. Data that we have generated based on the data subject's personal data, such as conclusions about possible interests or service usage habits that we have analyzed for the purpose of service offers.

      3. What personal data does LMT obtain

      Categories of personal data may vary depending on services used or cooperation established. Generally, we categorize personal data as follow:

      3.1. Basic personal data. This category of personal data includes data that does not correspond to other types of data, for example: 

      Personal identification data (for example, first name, last name, personal identity number, personal identification document number, expiration date).

      Contact details (for example, email address, residential address, contact phone number, contact person).

      Customer data (for example, customer number, service segment, group).

      Representation data (for example, representation data of legal entities, data of authorized persons, authorization data).

      Communication data (for example, information about contacting LMT, submission, application, survey information, data of audio recordings made during customer service).

      Consent data (for example, information on consents given, consent withdrawals).

      Service data (for example, connection number, SIM card data, information about the services provided, service authorization data, service application data, service withdrawal data, service usage limits, service administration message data).

      Device technical specification (for example, IMEI, device model, device series).

      Billing data (for example, billing information, payment information, invoice delivery information).

      Credit history and debt recovery data (for example, credit history data, debt data, debt recovery data).

      Personal visual data (for example, video surveillance data, video recording data, photo).

      Transaction data (for example, information about entered into contracts, transactions, applications). 

      3.2. Children's data. This category includes data on minors. We process children's data only in certain circumstances, for example, when it is related to the provision of certain transactions, including a parent or the relevant legal representative, as well as in cases where it is necessary and permitted in accordance with the law. For example, we can grant a service discount if the customer has a child, in which case, we can process the child's personal identity number, date of birth and age. If such data processing is carried out, LMT pays particular attention to ensure that the processing is appropriate.

      3.3. Traffic data (electronic communications metadata). Data that is processed in order to transmit information by an electronic communications network or to prepare invoices and account for payments, except the content of transmitted information, and which allows the identification of a specific natural person as a data subject. The traffic data category includes, for example, information about communication parties, connection number, connection time, information about the terminal equipment, the amount of transmitted data, the technology used. This data reflects your activities when you use electronic communication services and the network. For example, a number A communicates with a number B at a certain time. We process this data only for the purposes determined or permitted by the law.      

      3.4. Location data (electronic communications metadata). Data that is processed in an electronic communications network or that is processed using electronic communications services, and which indicates the location of the terminal equipment of electronic communications services, including the location of the terminal equipment (for example, the territory of the base station), the address of the connection point. This category also includes location data whose purpose is, for example, the provision of additional services. We process this data only for the purposes determined or permitted by the law.

      3.5. Systems access and usage data. Data that is used and generated in connection with registration, authentication and login of services, service channels and systems such as My LMT, LMT e-store or is generated when visiting LMT websites, and which characterizes the use of services. For example, this category includes various access parameters such as passwords, codes, login transactions and system usage data such as Internet Protocol address, audit logs, etc.

      3.6. Other data that describes the use of services, including personal data collected by cookies or similar technologies, in connection with visiting the website and using services of LMT. For more information about cookies, see Clause 9 of this Policy.

      4. How does LMT use personal data

      4.1. LMT processes personal data to provide services, ensure effective customer service, cooperation, events and other social and business activities related to LMT operations. 

      4.2. For security reasons, to avoid repeated identification, we prefer processing of anonymized data. However, due to the nature of the provided service, cooperation or event, quite often we need to process personal data of identifiable person.

      4.3. LMT performs automated processing of personal data. It allows to review the received requests or issues faster, for example, inform a person individually about services available to him/her or the possibility to customize these services to specific interests and needs. In addition to the above, automated processing of data allows to provide an answer quickly, which otherwise should have been done manually and required much more time.

      4.4. In providing services related to a credit limit (for example, when choosing a service, a device is given), increasing credit risk (for example, making relevant changes during the term of an existing contract), or providing financial support, it is important to evaluate credit information. It provides an opportunity to take care of a person's ability to fulfill their obligations and ensure adequate financial management.

      4.5. When a person’s creditworthiness is checked for the purpose of the provision of some services, for example a chosen service includes the receiving of an equipment or down payment rules for the equipment or in case the customer has requested the extension or the payment date, automated individual processing of data may take place to verify the ability of a data subject to meet his/her payment obligations. LMT may request information from external third-party databases (including credit data and debt history databases). If LMT has doubts about the ability of a data subject to meet his/her payment obligations, some services may be refused fully or partially. However, the person concerned may always submit information to LMT in a different way to justify the person's ability to fulfil the obligations arising from the selected transaction.

      4.6. We make automated individual decisions only if the data subject has given his/her consent or there is contractual ground (transaction provision). In some cases, we may do that on other legal basis, if that is allowed by the applicable law.

      4.7. LMT also performs profiling. To better understand customer needs and develop services that meet customer expectations and interests, LMT may consider, for example, previous cooperation, including duration, value and content of contracts, payments made by the customer, information about the customer expectations and needs, etc. It allows to prepare customized solutions to each situation individually, including in cases, when the cooperation has been long-lasting, and it is necessary to reach a compromise to solve a non-standard situation. Profiling used for the purposes of direct marketing allows us to make the most suitable offers. However, we respect data subject’s right to request discontinuation of such processing of personal data by withdrawing his or her consent or to object to processing of personal data for the above purpose when it is done on the basis of the legitimate interest.

      4.8. The profiling is carried out pursuant to the law. The legal basis for such data processing may be a consent given by a natural person or in some cases the legitimate interest of LMT, or other legal basis provided for in applicable law.

      4.9. Any data subject may ask LMT to review automated individual decisions, including decisions based on profiling. The data subject may also ask to review such automated individual decision and to involve LMT experts in the said review, when the decision refusing access to service is made due to insufficient creditworthiness. Thus, if there is any information that may change such decision and is not available to LMT, we ask the person to provide such information to us by visiting LMT Customer Centre or by contacting us via any of LMT information channels.

      4.10. To facilitate the development of services or perform other assessments, LMT compiles statistical data.

      5. Legal basis and purposes of personal data processing

Regular trainings are organized for our employees on information security and personal data protection issues.

      7. To whom may LMT provide personal data

      7.1. Exchange of personal data may be needed in some cases, when there is a specific purpose, for example, LMT may need to provide personal data to the following categories of data recipients:

         7.1.1. LMT group companies.  We provide personal data if it is necessary for the purposes of personal data processing defined in this Policy. Security of personal data is a priority for LMT group companies and therefore, when providing personal data, we take great care to ensure that the data processing take place according to the statutory requirements.

         7.1.2. Cooperation partners. Economic operators with whom the companies of the LMT group have entered into cooperation agreements and established mutual obligations (for example, for device insurance). Likewise, for the provision of services (including other electronic communications operators, including if the customer has chosen to keep the number, face-to-face and remote sales sellers, device set-up, device repair, etc.), for the provision of delivery (incl. printing of invoices, delivery of parcels and contracts, etc., including couriers, postal service providers, etc.), for verification of personal identification or authentication (providers of authentication services, including internet banks, providers of secure electronic identification means), for service quality control (i.e. survey provides, etc.), for security and protection (cooperation partners who provide support for the safety and protection of LMT group employees, customers, visitors, objects and infrastructure, as well as for the prevention of fraudulent, illegal or other threats and infringements to the interests of LMT group, including security, legal assistance providers, etc.) and for ensuring management (cooperation partners for managing and ensuring the organizational, financial management and accounting processes of the LMT group, including auditors, event organizers, etc.), within the scope of the authorisation issued to the authorized person.

      Using his/her LMT connection number in the countries of the European Union, the European Economic Area or foreign countries, the LMT customer visits the networks of other electronic communications operators and uses the services provided by them. In such a case, electronic communications operators have the right to process and receive from LMT personal data that is objectively necessary for the provision of services.

      In cases where LMT transfers personal data to another electronic communications operator, personal data processing takes place in accordance with the terms of the contract and privacy policy of the relevant electronic communications service operator.

      7.2. In addition to the above, there may be cases when we transfer personal data to another person due to the transfer, merger, acquisition of companies, sale of LMT assets, transfer of service provision to another economic operator, etc. 

      7.3. We also process anonymized data that is not attributed to a specific natural person and do not allow to identify a data subject. These data may be used for other purposes and transferred to other persons. 

      7.4. LMT ensures the confidentiality of personal data by implementing security measures according to the law.

      7.5. LMT processes personal data within the framework of the European Union and the European Economic Area, however, in certain cases, LMT may transfer them for processing in third countries.

For example, the third country where the partner is located provides a sufficient level of protection in accordance with the decision of the EU Commission, the partner has provided adequate guarantees with binding corporate rules, corresponding standard data protection clauses or other approved regulations, codes of conduct, certification mechanisms or in other cases. The data subject can receive more detailed information about the transfer of personal data to third countries by contacting LMT.

      8. How long does LMT store data

      8.1. We store personal data only as long as it is needed to achieve a specific purpose, or as long as it is determined by law. 

      8.2. For example, the customer's personal data is stored during the contractual relationship or as long as it is necessary to provide the service. Even after the end of the contractual relationship, personal data is stored until the obligations of the parties are fully fulfilled, the accounting or other requirements specified in the law are fulfilled, as well as during the period until the customer or LMT can implement the protection of their legal interests in accordance with the procedures specified in the law (including to submit objections and complaints or raise legal action until the statute of limitations has expired). The retention time of individual data sets may also be shorter. 

      8.3. If personal data is stored on the basis of consent, then we store it until withdrawal of consent, unless another legal basis for its storage is applicable.

      10. What are the rights and obligations of a data subject

      10.1. A data subject has the following rights:

         10.1.1. Familiarize him/herself with the information stored about him/her by LMT, insofar it does not contravene the law and does not adversely affect the rights of other persons. Information can be received through any channel supported by LMT that allows identification of a person, including, for example, visiting a LMT Customer Centres, or contacting LMT in the scope offered by My LMT.

         10.1.2. Request access to his/her personal data, obtain rectification or, if necessary, supplementing, or erasure (right to be forgotten); restrict the processing of personal data or object to such processing pursuant to the law; as well as enjoy the right to data portability. Please note that in case of rectification, erasure, restriction, termination or portability, services/processes can be partially or fully suspended, and it can be irreversible. When choosing to receive information about himself/herself remotely, such as by mail, e-mail, other addressee, etc., the requester is responsible for the security of the chosen method of receipt and for the conduct of persons acting on behalf of the requester.

         10.1.3. Request a copy of the personal data being processed, if it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. Please note that LMT has the right to ask for a reasonable fee (based on administrative costs) for all additional copies of such personal data.

         10.1.4. Withdraw any previous consent at any time in an easy manner. Giving or withdrawing consent is a person's free choice and does not impose any additional obligations. However, if a person decides to withdraw any previous consent, it should be considered that the processing of personal data related to the respective consent will be suspended and the previous functionality may not be fully available. For example, the unsubscribing from newsletters means that news or other information on offers will no longer be sent to the person. It is important to remember that such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. 

      There are several ways to withdraw consent. Consent can be revoked on the LMT website My LMT, where information about the given consents, withdrawal and further management options is available. There is also the possibility of withdrawing the given consent in the app where it is provided (for example, in the LMT Viedtelevīzija app). Additional information on withdrawal of consent is also provided on the LMT website. We also provide the opportunity to refuse receiving offers by sending an offer through the relevant communication channel. If consent is given in relation to a particular service, it may be possible to withdraw consent on the website or app of the particular service. 

      To withdraw consent or ask related questions, you can contact us at any time by calling the phone number specified in this Policy, visiting the LMT Customer Centre or contacting us through any other communication channel using the contact information below.

         10.1.5. Object at any time and free of charge to processing of his/her data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling, to the extent such processing is related to direct marketing (irrespective if such processing is initial or further processing).

         10.1.6. Contact LMT and market supervisory authorities on data processing issues. If assistance is required to receive more information about this Privacy Policy, aspects of personal data processing or the applicable data protection law, please contact LMT. LMT carefully examines any request and provides answers. In any case, any natural person always has the right to submit a complaint to the Data State Inspectorate (data protection supervisory authority of Latvia).

      10.2. LMT examines data subjects’ requests related to the above-mentioned rights free of charge. Examination of a request may be refused, or a reasonable fee may be charged, if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or in other cases provided for by the law. A request may be submitted at any LMT Customer Centre or remotely, providing the possibility to identify the requester as the data subject and to verify the nature and the ground of the submitted request.

      10.3. A data subject has the following obligations:

         10.3.1. Provide LMT with information about changes in the provided data within a reasonable period. It is important for LMT to hold true and up to date information.

         10.3.2. Provide additional information, if needed. Within the framework of communication or cooperation we may ask for additional information to verify that we communicate or cooperate with a particular natural person. This is needed to protect the personal data of the relevant natural person and other persons for ensuring that the said person is the data subject and that any information disclosed during such communication and/or cooperation is made available only to this specific person and does not interfere with the rights of other persons. For example, when a person wants to find out information about him/her by sending a request to LMT. In this case it is important for LMT to make sure that this person has signed and submitted the request. Accordingly, we may ask to provide additional identifying information. However, if the person has not provided additional information and/or LMT has any doubts about the identity of the requester, in order to protect personal data (not to disclose data to any third parties) we may stop the consideration of the request until we are sure that it is this person who requested the mentioned information.

         10.3.3. Read this Privacy Policy before our cooperation and provide it to any person who associate with the data subject and whose interests may be consequently affected by the processing of personal data of the data subject. This Privacy Policy is an integral part of services provided by LMT. LMT expects that data provided to LMT does not adversely affect the interests of other persons. In cases where, under appropriate terms and conditions, a person can access or share his/her services with another person, the person is responsible for informing such other person about the processing of data during such processes and the obligations arising therefrom. In cases where data directly relate to another person (in cases where the data subject is another person), the relevant natural person is obliged to inform us without delay. Until the full identification of the persons, the data are attributed to the relevant natural person as the data subject.
