Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
LUMO PLATFORM LIMITED (“Lumo”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a B2B SaaS platform that helps e-commerce brands manage their TikTok Shop. We connect brands with TikTok creators through TikTok's official Shop Partner API.
LUMO PLATFORM LIMITED was incorporated in 2025 and the application is launching in April 2026.
- Company legal name: LUMO PLATFORM LIMITED
- Registered address: 120 Holborn, London, England, EC1N 2TD
- Privacy enquiries: privacy@lumoplatform.ai
- Data protection contact: security@lumoplatform.ai
Lumo currently processes personal data exclusively in the context of UK-based operations and does not specifically target EU residents. Should this change, we will appoint an EU representative in accordance with Article 27 GDPR.
1.1 Our Role Under Data Protection Law
Depending on how data is used, Lumo may act as either:
- Data Controller — when processing information about platform users and creator data used to power the Lumo platform.
- Data Processor — when processing data on behalf of brand users who use the platform to run creator campaigns.
2. Who This Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- Brand users — individuals who register and use LUMO PLATFORM LIMITED on behalf of an e-commerce brand or organisation.
- TikTok creators — individuals whose publicly available TikTok profile and performance data is processed through the TikTok Shop API in the context of affiliate campaign matching.

3.2 TikTok Creators
We process publicly available creator data made available through TikTok's official Shop Partner and Creator Marketplace APIs. This includes:
| Data | Source | Purpose |

We do not collect:creator email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, private messages, or any data not publicly available through TikTok's official API.
3.3 Automated Decision-Making and Profiling (FitScore)
Lumo uses an automated scoring system called FitScore to help brands assess the suitability of TikTok creators for their affiliate campaigns. FitScore analyses publicly available creator data including follower count, engagement rate, content category, historical campaign performance, and GMV metrics.
FitScore influences outreach recommendations made to brands but does not produce decisions with legally significant or similarly significant effects on creators. Creators are not hired, rejected, or contractually bound based solely on automated output.
Brands using Lumo retain full discretion over which creators they contact. FitScore is a decision-support tool, not a decision-making one.
If you are a TikTok creator and wish to understand how your FitScore has been calculated, or to request a human review of that assessment, please contact privacy@lumoplatform.ai.
This disclosure is made in accordance with UK GDPR Articles 13 and 14.
