Automated decision-making regarding Your Personal Data, including profiling, may occur in the following cases:

  • analysis, activity recording and forecasting for developing and offering Services that match Customers' wishes and interests, sending personalised news and granting individualised additional benefits are carried out on the basis of the information that has been transferred to Latvenergo and generated during the use of the Services, as well as depending on Your interests and Service usage habits, for example, based on the type of Service chosen by the Customer and Service usage habits, consumption data, payment method, type of electricity meter, bill payment habits, site address and type of communication channel;
  • as part of monitoring settlement performance, creditworthiness assessment and debt management, in order to ensure that You are provided in good time with information about delays in the fulfilment of obligations arising from contracts already concluded, and to fully assess the possibility of concluding other contracts, automated profiling of Customer data is carried out in relation to the Customer's payment and settlement habits. In the debt management process (credit control), a limited-risk artificial intelligence solution is used that helps to predict the Customer's ability to pay for the Services received on time. The forecast affects only the sequence of steps in the debt management process, in order to ensure that You are provided in good time with information about the interruption of service delivery and that You can react to it in good time, so as not to contribute to the growth of overdue obligations. The Customer's payment and settlement habits (including a negative payment history) may affect the content of warnings. The payment history for Latvenergo Services may affect the range of Services available to You and Your right to pay in instalments;
  • In order to forecast, improve and ensure an electric vehicle charging process that meets your needs and the technical requirements of electric transport and to provide you with a quality service that optimizes the charging process and provides efficient electricity management, automated profiling can be used to develop and regularly apply an algorithm that will allow to model and predict the duration of charging and consumed electricity during charging according to a pre-defined data set by using your electric vehicle charging data created within the framework of receipt of the service, thus ensuring balanced distribution of electricity between electric vehicle charging equipment;

In processing personal data, we use artificial intelligence solutionsthat provide significant support in information processing, increasing efficiency and improving the quality of Services. These solutions are used, for example, to convert audio conversations into text, create summaries and classify text, posing minimal or no risk to the Customer. When using artificial intelligence solutions, we comply with the provisions of the Artificial Intelligence Act, the Regulation and other binding laws and regulations.


You have the right, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Section 11, to object to automated decision-making, including profiling, and the right to ask Latvenergo to review the decision and to request the involvement of Latvenergo employees in assessing the decision.

The participation of a minor (child) in Latvenergo projects organised by it, in which persons under 18 years of age may take part, is possible if the child's legal representative has Latvenergo given consent to the child's participation in the specific project or if another legal basis laid down in the Regulation exists.
