Latvia’s Tet disputes fine

October 3, 2022 12.19 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

The Latvian incumbent Tet has said it disagrees with and is challenging a court decision fining it €1.2 million.

This follows a decision by the Data State Inspectorate (DVI) related to its processing of personal data in the provision of the streaming service Tet+ in 2020.

According to Tet, “a private individual tried to dishonestly gain access to Tet+ platform services using another person’s data. The person’s dishonest behaviour was related to an attempt to bypass the security solutions included in the application process for a new generation television service. Since then, the use of the service has continued to be refined to exclude such attempts at fraudulent behavior. Also, DVI has not found any victims or damages to any specific person. In addition, Tet has promptly eliminated any possibility that could have negative consequences for customers”.

Uldis Tatarcuks, chairman of the Tet board, added: “We highly value the importance of data protection and the work of DVI, however, we oppose the assessment and process of the circumstances of the case, as well as the penalty applied to the company as a result. In order for the data protection system to work in the interests of citizens, cooperation aimed at consulting and improving practice should take place primarily, rather than looking for opportunities for punishment”.

Tet filed a lawsuit this week asking for DVI’s decision to be overturned in its entirety.
