Privacy enquiries: privacy@kumoinsights.ai

For accounts and creator profiles, Kumo processes your email address and the personal details you provide, such as your name, country, public name, profile photo and biography.

For publications, Kumo processes manuscripts, covers, titles, descriptions, prices, publication settings, purchase links and the information needed to prepare and manage an edition.

For reader orders, Kumo records the edition, reader and creator details needed to manage the order, its amount and currency, and its payment status. Kumo does not store PayPal passwords or card credentials.

Reader reviews may include a verified email address, rating, review text, purchase channel and an optional photo. Reviewer emails are never public. A publication’s creator can review and moderate submissions for that publication.

Private conversation and engagement requests may include contact details, requested dates, project information, messages, proposals, pricing and status updates needed to arrange and fulfil the request.

Kumo also processes limited technical, error and security information needed to protect and operate the service. With your choice, Kumo records first-party usage events—page and publication views and key steps such as publishing, orders and requests—with a random visitor identifier, first-visit source and campaign tags, country from hosting request information, and your account when signed in. Kumo does not store IP addresses or use advertising identifiers.

Kumo uses this information to create and secure accounts; prepare, publish and display editions; manage orders and paid access; operate reviews; arrange conversations and engagements; send service emails; respond to enquiries; prevent misuse; maintain and improve the platform; and meet applicable legal obligations.

Kumo does not sell personal data and does not use it for advertising.

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, Kumo relies as appropriate on performing a contract or taking requested steps before one, legitimate interests in operating and securing the service, compliance with legal obligations, and consent for optional analytics. You may withdraw analytics consent at any time on the Cookies page without affecting earlier processing.

Kumo does not publicly distribute a creator’s original manuscript PDF. The public preview is limited to the first 10 pages. Readers receive access to paid digital editions through Kumo only after payment has been confirmed.

PayPal payments take place directly between the reader and creator using the creator’s payment link. Kumo records order and payment status but does not receive or store PayPal passwords or card credentials. PayPal processes the transaction under its own terms.

Physical editions may link to external stores. Purchases there are handled by those stores, outside Kumo and under their own privacy terms.

Kumo uses Lovable and its managed hosting, database, authentication, file-storage and transactional-email services to operate the platform. These services process information needed to provide their functions.

If you choose to schedule a conversation, Calendly is loaded when you select the scheduling control and may process technical and scheduling information under its own terms. Creators receive the reader, order, conversation or engagement details they need to respond to and fulfil requests.

Some providers may process information outside your country. Provider processing locations and the safeguards applicable to particular transfers depend on the provider and service in use. Contact Kumo for available information about a specific transfer.

Kumo keeps information only for as long as reasonably needed to provide the service, maintain security, resolve disputes and meet applicable legal obligations. Account or publication deletion and review archival do not necessarily remove every related transaction, security record or provider copy immediately.

Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, receive portable data, and withdraw consent. Kumo may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

You may also complain to the data-protection authority relevant to you, including Uruguay’s Unidad Reguladora y de Control de Datos Personales (URCDP) where applicable.

Kumo uses access controls, private file storage and other proportionate safeguards intended to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Kumo is not directed to children. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact Kumo so the situation can be reviewed.

This notice may change as Kumo and applicable requirements develop. The date above identifies the latest version. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate Kumo channel.
