Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal data we process when you shop on paesecosmetics.lv, contact us or visit our studio, why we do it and what your rights are.
1. Controller
The controller of personal data is SIA “Cosmepro”, reg. No. 40203481832, registered address: Ieroču iela 2-11, Riga, LV-1013 — the official PAESE representative in Latvia. Studio and shop: Aleksandra Čaka iela 26, Riga.

2. What data we process
- Order data: first and last name, email, phone, delivery address or chosen parcel locker, ordered products, amount, discounts, gift card and payment status. We neither see nor store payment card details — they are processed by the payment service provider.
- Account data: login email, encrypted password, addresses, order history (including orders placed in the previous paesecosmetics.lv shop), wishlist and personal offers.
- Business partner data: company name, registration and VAT number, address, contact person, terms of cooperation and the content of the application.
- Communication: messages from contact forms, email, phone, WhatsApp and Instagram, including photos you send for a shade consultation.
- Reviews: name, rating, text and photos added to a review.
- Unfinished order: if you enter your email at checkout but do not finish the order, we keep the email and cart contents to remind you about the cart.
- Site use: anonymised visit statistics without cookies (pages, source, device type). The IP address is not stored: a new irreversible code is created from it every day. With your consent — also analytics and advertising cookies (see section 6).

Some service providers (such as Google, Meta, Stripe) may also process data outside the European Economic Area. In that case data protection is ensured by a European Commission adequacy decision (e.g. the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses. We do not sell data.

6. Cookies
Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. We use two types of cookies:
- Necessary — cart, checkout, account login, security and your cookie choice. The shop does not work without them, so no consent is needed. Guests’ wishlists are saved in the browser’s storage.
- Analytics and marketing — Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Pixel. They help us understand what visitors find useful and show relevant ads. They are switched on only with your consent.
If you agree to these cookies, we also send purchase information from our server to measure results accurately: to Google with analytics consent (order amount and products), to Meta with marketing consent (also encrypted email and phone). You can change your choice at any time: Cookie settings.
7. Your rights
You have the right to request access to your data, its correction or erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, to object to processing based on legitimate interests and to withdraw consent at any time. Send requests to info@paesecosmetics.lv — we will reply within one month. You can correct most account data yourself in My account.
If you believe we process data incorrectly, you can complain to the Data State Inspectorate (www.dvi.gov.lv), but we invite you to contact us first — we will try to resolve the matter.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if our services or the law change. The current version is always available on this page.
