Gym Latvija SIA (‘Gym Latvija’ or ‘we’) values its clients (‘you’) feeling well and safe with us. This is why we will make sure to protect your personal data that we have access to.
The objective of this Privacy Policy is to explain to you the purposes for which we will collect and use your personal data, as well as your rights that pertain to your personal data.
This Privacy Policy applies to you if you are our client, whether you have signed a service agreement or not (e.g. visiting us during our open days), if you subscribe to our newsletter, if you have expressed interest in receiving our offer, or if you have submitted a request for information on our website.

The personal data that we use depend on what data you disclose to us. Certain data is required for us to provide our services and enter into an agreement with you – this data is marked with an asterisk (*) and is mandatory in both paper and electronic forms. Providing other information, such as adding your picture to your user account, is up to you.
Depending on the above circumstances, we may collect and process the following data:
The processing of personal data has various purposes, and every processing activity must be based on specific legal grounds. Gym Latvija processes your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
We process data based on these legal grounds if it is necessary to conclude an agreement with you, or in order to carry out the activities necessary for signing an agreement, on your request.
In some cases, we must process your personal data because we are required to do so by applicable laws and regulations. If such processing is required by law, neither we nor you can affect the processing of your data.
Legitimate interest means that, while we do not have to directly process your data to perform our contractual or legal obligations, the processing is still necessary. It may be necessary to improve our products and services, to your benefit, to protect our property, clients and employees using surveillance cameras, or to make business decisions on the basis of statistics. Because processing based on legitimate interest does not involve any legal obligation or contractual necessity to process your data, and because we do not request your consent for processing your data in this case, you have the right to request information about the processing, or to object to the processing if you believe that the processing of your data for the purposes specified in the table below infringes on your rights.
In certain situations, we may need your consent to the processing of your personal data, e.g. for direct marketing and in other cases when we do not have any other legal grounds for the processing, but we would still like to process your data.
You may always revoke your consent (either in each case of consent individually, or all of them at once) via your user account in our client portal, or by sending us an e-mail message at info@gymlatvija.lv. If you revoke your consent, we will stop the processing of your data for the purposes, for which the consent was originally issued. Revocation of consent will not affect the legality of processing based on that consent prior to its revocation.
You may always prohibit us from sending you direct marketing offers and messages via e-mail and/or phone, by sending us a corresponding e-mail message to info@gymlatvija.lv, or by clicking on the unsubscribe link provided at the bottom of every direct marketing message.
The table below contains some of the purposes and the legal grounds for our processing your personal data.

Gym Latvija has established the legal, organisational, physical and technical security measures necessary to protect your personal data. Examples of some of the measures we use include:
Physical measures: paper documents containing personal data are stored in locked rooms and cabinets that can only be accessed by specific employees for the purposes of their work; the data processing rooms and IT systems are sufficiently protected against fires, overheating, water and blackouts.
Technical measures: video surveillance; the computer workstations of all employees are secured with password-protected screensavers switched on when the employee leaves their workplace; it is ensured that our IT system refuses to accept new sign-in attempts and locks the user name, if the number of access attempts exceeds its limit; it is ensured that highly-vulnerable systems (e.g. laptops, smartphones) are sufficiently protected (with encryption and other measures).
Organisational measures: all IT system users are assigned roles and profiles; it is ensured that the access rights of an employee are revoked once that employee leaves Gym Latvija; it is ensured that rooms where personal data are processed cannot be accessed from public areas.
If we use external service providers for data processing, we conclude data protection agreements with them, requiring the service providers (i) to introduce appropriate measures ensuring the privacy and security of personal data, and (ii) to protect personal data in accordance with the requirements arising from applicable laws and regulations.
Right of access: you are entitled to know what data about you we store, for what purposes we process and to what parties we disclose these data; how long these data will be stored for; what your rights are in terms of restricting the processing as well as correcting, erasing or processing these data.
Right to rectification: you are entitled to make us correct your personal data if these data are inaccurate or incomplete. You may also correct these data yourself, via your user account.
Right to erasure: in certain conditions, you are entitled to request that your personal data be deleted, mostly if we no longer need these data, if you revoke your consent that you previously granted for the processing of your data, or if we have been processing your data illegally.
Right to restriction of processing: in certain conditions, you are entitled to prohibit or restrict the processing of your personal data for a specific period of time (e.g. if you have objected to the processing of these data).
Right to object: you are entitled to object to any processing of data based on legitimate interests of Gym Latvija, including any profiling, based on our legitimate interests. We will stop the processing of your personal data if you submit your objection to such processing, unless we have compelling and legitimate reasons to continue the processing, or if the processing is necessary to submit, pursue and protect legal action. You are also entitled to object to the processing of your personal data in relation to direct marketing at any time. Having received such an objection, we will cease the processing of your personal data for direct marketing.
Right to data portability: if the processing of your personal data is based on your consent or a contract between us, and if the data are processed automatically, you are entitled to access (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format) the data related to you that you have provided us with. You are also entitled to request that Gym Latvija directly transmit these data to another service provider, if this is technically feasible.
If you would like to use any of the above rights, please e-mail us at info@gymlatvija.lv. In order to reply to your question, we must first confirm your identity, to prevent unauthorised parties from accessing these data. We will answer your questions within 30 days.
All Gym Latvija sports clubs use surveillance cameras to protect their staff and clients, as well as the property of Gym Latvija, its staff and clients, and to ensure the security of athletic activities. The surveillance cameras are also used to detect violations of the internal rules of Gym Latvija (including the incorrect use of sports club access cards).
The surveillance cameras are set up in the sports clubs such that they can monitor entrance gates, changing room entrances, gyms and recreation rooms. This means that clients in these zones can be recorded by these cameras. A summary of the provisions governing the video surveillance we conduct is provided below.
Legal grounds for using the camera: legitimate interest
We respect your privacy and seek to make sure that the processing of your personal data is clear and transparent. This is the reason we have developed this Privacy Policy. If you need more details about the processing of your personal data and the use of your rights, please contact us via e-mail, at info@gymlatvija.lv.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the General Data Protection Regulation, you are entitled to report this to the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (info@dvi.gov.lv) and file action in court, to protect your rights and interests.
Gym Latvija may from time to time revise this Privacy Policy to update it, especially in the event of changes in the laws and regulations applicable to it, or if the activities we perform when processing personal data change. The latest version of this Privacy Policy is always available on our website.
