If you have questions about data processing or wish to exercise your rights, get in touch using the form on the contact page.
What data we process
- In the request form: name, phone number, address, the service you chose, when the service is needed, and the description you write (for example the heating appliance, the fuel, the number of flues, the problem, access to the roof).
- In work documents: the data the fire safety regulations require to be entered in a cleaning certificate or technical condition inspection certificate (the property, the owner, the address, the date, a description of the flues). This also includes photos or video taken during the inspection, if they are attached to the certificate.
- Technical data: IP address, browser and device information and the time of the request, which the hosting provider processes to keep the website running and secure.
- Cookies, as described on the cookies page.
Please do not give data in the form that is not needed to assess the job, especially health data or other sensitive data.

- State authorities, only where the law requires it.
We do not sell your data and do not pass it to third parties for marketing purposes.
Transfers of data outside the European Economic Area
Some service providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. In such cases data is transferred only with the safeguards set out in Chapter V of the GDPR, for example on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep data
- Requests that did not lead to a job are kept for no longer than 24 months after the last contact, and then deleted.
- Data related to a completed job, including copies of certificates, is kept for as long as accounting and tax laws require, or until the limitation period for possible claims ends.
- Technical data is kept for as long as is needed for website security.
You can ask us to delete data earlier if the law does not require us to keep it.
Your rights
- to access your data and receive a copy of it;
- to correct inaccurate data;
- to ask for your data to be deleted;
- to ask for processing to be restricted;
- to object to processing based on legitimate interests;

We answer a request without undue delay and within one month at the latest, as the GDPR requires. If you believe your data is being processed incorrectly, we invite you to contact us first; you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data State Inspectorate (www.dvi.gov.lv).
Do you have to give your data
