Sumkinio ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Sumkinio. It applies to our website and its associated subdomains (collectively, our "Service") alongside our application, Sumkinio. By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms & Conditions.
To help explain things as clearly as possible in this Privacy Policy, every time any of these terms are referenced, they are strictly defined as:
Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our platform. This information may be used to connect your device to the internet. Other information collected automatically can include your login, email address, password, connection information (browser plug-ins, time zone, operating system and platform), purchase history, and the full clickstream (URLs, dates and times, pages viewed, search terms) to, through and from our website.
We may use browser data such as cookies or similar technologies on certain parts of our website for fraud prevention and other purposes. During your visits we may use tools such as JavaScript to measure session information including page response times, download errors, length of visits, page interaction (scrolling, clicks, mouse-overs) and methods used to navigate away from a page. We may also collect technical information to help identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic purposes.
This automatically-collected information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact details) but may include device and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country and location. This information is primarily used to maintain the security and operation of our platform, and for internal analytics and reporting purposes.
If you are a Sumkinio worker or applicant, we collect information you voluntarily provide to us. We use this information for Human Resources purposes, in order to administer benefits to workers and screen applicants.
You may contact us to (1) update or correct your information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) receive a record of the information we hold about you. Such updates, corrections, changes or deletions will have no effect on other information that we maintain, or information we have already provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion.
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Sumkinio or any of its corporate affiliates, or that portion of Sumkinio (or its affiliates) to which the Service relates — or in the event that we discontinue our business, or file (or have filed against us) a petition in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding — provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy, except for individuals who may have rights to make claims under Privacy Shield or the Swiss-US framework.
By using Sumkinio or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you should not engage with our website or use our Service. Continued use of the website, direct engagement with us, or your continued use following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly affect the use or disclosure of your personal information, will mean that you accept those changes.
We've updated our Privacy Policy to provide you with complete transparency into what is being collected when you visit our site and how it's being used. By using Sumkinio, registering an account, or making a purchase, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
Sumkinio uses "Cookies" to identify areas of our website that you have visited. A Cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use Cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our website, but they are non-essential to its use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality — like videos — may become unavailable, or you may be required to log in every time you visit the website, since we would not be able to remember that you had logged in previously.
Most web browsers can be set to disable the use of Cookies. However, if you disable Cookies, you may not be able to access some or all of the functionality on our website. We never place Personally Identifiable Information in Cookies.
We may change our Service and policies, and we may need to make changes to this Privacy Policy so that they accurately reflect our Service and policies. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you (for example, through our Service) before we make changes to this Privacy Policy and give you an opportunity to review them before they take effect. If you continue to use the Service after that, you will be bound by the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to this or any updated Privacy Policy, you can delete your account.

We may collect and use information from you if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA). In this section, we explain how and why this data is collected, and how we keep it protected from being misused or replicated.
What is GDPR? GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how the data of EU residents is protected by companies, and enhances the control EU residents have over their personal data.
GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company, not just EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers' data is important regardless of where they are located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all of our operations worldwide.
What is personal data? Any data that relates to an identifiable or identified individual. GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used — on its own or in combination with other information — to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person's name or email address; examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
The Data Protection Principles include requirements such as:
Why is GDPR important? GDPR introduces new requirements for how companies protect the personal data they collect and process, and raises the stakes for compliance through stronger enforcement and larger fines for breaches. Beyond the legal requirements, we believe it's simply the right thing to do — at Sumkinio, your data privacy matters to us, and we maintain solid security and privacy practices that go beyond the requirements of this regulation.
