If you've found your name on Izlūks, it's because you appear in Latvia's public business registers — as a company officer, shareholder, beneficial owner, or on a public sanctions list. Izlūks is an independent business-intelligence service; we are not the Register of Enterprises and we do not decide what the registers contain. This page explains, in plain language, why your information is here and what you can ask us to do about it.
Latvian law makes core company-register data public and free to reuse. We mirror that open data so people and businesses can run counterparty checks, due diligence, and sanctions screening. If you hold — or have held — a role in a Latvian legal entity, that role is part of the public record, and it appears here the same way it appears in the source register.
We process this data under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR — the legitimate interest of our users in lawful due diligence, anti-money-laundering and sanctions screening, and fraud prevention — supported by Latvian law that designates these register entries as public. Our full reasoning is set out in our Privacy Policy.
We follow the publication choices of the Register of Enterprises. We never show your full personal identification code to anonymous or free-tier visitors — only the masked form (DDMMYY-*****), exactly as the Register publishes it. Any separate date-of-birth field is coarsened to year and month. We do not show residential addresses or identity-document numbers, and we do not republish anything from the non-public part of the Register.
Write to us at [email protected]. To help us act quickly, please include:
We respond within thirty (30) days. Where you object under Article 21 of the GDPR, we conduct and document a balancing test weighing your circumstances against the legitimate interest in the public record. You may also lodge a complaint with the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (dvi.gov.lv).
Depending on the outcome of that balancing test, we can:
We generally cannot erase register data outright while the legitimate interest in the public record persists — the EU Court of Justice (Manni, C-398/15) confirms there is no automatic right to erasure of company-register data. But the measures above are applied case by case, and a role that has ended weighs in your favour.
