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.

Note: All data accessed through TikTok Shop APIs is used exclusively within the scope of the TikTok Partner Programme. No data scraping, unofficial APIs, or third-party data brokers are used.

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:

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.
