lietotju

Lietotju is a Latvian morphological form derived from lietotājs, meaning “user.” In Latvian grammar, lietotāju is the genitive plural used to indicate possession or association with users. This form commonly appears in technical terminology, documentation, and user-related phrases within software and digital services.

In technology contexts, lietotāji (the nominative plural) refer to individuals who interact with a device, software, or online service. Within an organization or product team, a distinction is often made between end users—those who use the product—and other roles such as administrators, developers, or support personnel who manage or configure it.

Usage in IT includes terms such as lietotāju konti, meaning user accounts, which are required to authenticate a person to a system; and lietotāju dati, meaning user data, which encompasses information collected or stored about users. The concept underpins areas like user experience design, access control, authentication, and authorization.

Privacy and security considerations center on the protection of lietotāju dati. Practices include data minimization, informed consent, secure storage, and compliance with data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. Proper handling of user information is essential for maintaining trust and ensuring lawful processing.

Originating from lietotājs (to use), the plural nominative is lietotāji, while the genitive plural is lietotāju. In non-diacritic or varied texts, spellings may vary, but standard Latvian uses diacritics to reflect grammatical forms.
