Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Solkinis collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you visit solkinis.com or place an order with us. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and respecting your rights under applicable law.
Solkinis is operated by Guangzhou Yi Fu Network Technology Co., Ltd., registered in the People's Republic of China. We sell women's swimwear and beach accessories to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. This policy has been prepared to meet the privacy and data protection requirements that apply in each of those countries. Your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection and privacy laws are not diminished by anything in this policy.
Who We Are
Solkinis is an online retailer of women's swimwear, bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, beach cover-ups, and beach accessories. We operate exclusively through our website at solkinis.com. The business is owned and operated by Guangzhou Yi Fu Network Technology Co., Ltd., a company registered in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China. When this policy refers to "Solkinis," "we," "us," or "our," it means Guangzhou Yi Fu Network Technology Co., Ltd. trading as Solkinis.
We currently fulfil orders and ship to customers in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Because we process personal data belonging to individuals in those countries, we have prepared this policy to comply with the applicable privacy and data protection laws in each of those jurisdictions, including but not limited to:
Our primary contact for all privacy matters is customercare@solkinis.com. You may also reach us by telephone at +86 134 1350 2606.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information in three ways: information you give us directly when you interact with our website or contact us; information collected automatically when you browse our website; and information we receive from third-party service providers that support our operations.
We may receive limited personal information from third-party platforms that support our business, including:
- Shopify: Our e-commerce platform processes order, payment, and customer data on our behalf and may share transaction confirmations and fraud-detection signals with us.
- PayPal: If you choose to pay via PayPal, PayPal shares your name, email, and shipping address with us to fulfil your order.
- Advertising platforms: Google and Meta may share aggregated audience or conversion data with us when we run advertising campaigns. We do not receive your individual identity from these platforms.
- Shipping carriers: Carriers such as DHL, YunExpress, and 4PX may provide us with delivery status updates linked to your order number and shipping address.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information only for the purposes listed below. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not use it for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was originally collected.
Legal Basis for Processing
For customers located in the United Kingdom (and to the extent applicable, Canada and Australia), we are required to identify the legal basis on which we process your personal data. The table below explains the basis we rely on for each type of processing activity.
| Processing Activity | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| Processing and fulfilling your order | Performance of a contract with you |
| Sending order confirmation and shipping emails | Performance of a contract with you |
| Responding to customer service enquiries | Performance of a contract / Legitimate interests |
| Fraud detection and prevention | Legitimate interests (protecting our business and customers) |
| Website analytics and performance improvement | Legitimate interests (improving our service) |
| Sending marketing emails and promotions | Consent (you opted in and may withdraw at any time) |
| Targeted advertising (retargeting) | Consent (via cookie preferences) / Legitimate interests |
| Compliance with legal obligations (tax, export, court orders) | Legal obligation |
Where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, we have balanced those interests against your rights and determined that our processing does not override your fundamental privacy interests. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests — see Section 12 for how to do so.

All third-party service providers that access your personal data are required by contract to process it only on our instructions, to implement appropriate security measures, and not to use it for any other purpose.
International Data Transfers
Solkinis is operated from China, and our primary servers are located via Shopify's infrastructure (Canada and the United States).

We take the following steps to ensure your data is protected during international transfers:
Shopify's data hosting infrastructure is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards, providing a high level of technical security for data processed through our store. You can learn more in Shopify's Privacy Policy.

When your data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Some residual data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days after deletion.

Security of Your Personal Data
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Specific measures include:
Despite these measures, no method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure. If you suspect that your account has been compromised or that your personal data has been involved in a security incident, please contact us immediately at customercare@solkinis.com or +86 134 1350 2606.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority (ICO for UK customers; OAIC for Australian customers; OPC for Canadian customers) within the timeframes required by applicable law — 72 hours for UK GDPR-covered incidents.
Children's Privacy
Solkinis is an online store intended for use by adults aged 18 years and older. Our products — women's swimwear, bikinis, and beach accessories — are designed for adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the United Kingdom).
If you are under 18, you may not create an account or place an order on solkinis.com without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. By using our website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the applicable minimum age, we will delete that information from our records promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at customercare@solkinis.com so we can take appropriate action. This policy is consistent with our obligations under the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the UK GDPR, and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.
Third-Party Links & Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, or services that are not operated by us. Examples include links to shipping carrier tracking pages, payment processors, and social media platforms. When you click on one of these links, you leave solkinis.com and your visit to the third-party website is governed entirely by that website's own privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit. The inclusion of a link on solkinis.com does not constitute our endorsement of the linked website or its privacy practices.
Social media buttons and share features on our website (for example, Instagram and Facebook) may also allow third-party social networks to collect information about your visit even if you do not click those buttons, depending on your social media account settings. Please review the privacy settings and policies of any social media platform you use.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We review this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our business operations, applicable law, or regulatory guidance. When we make changes, we update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where the changes are material, notify customers who hold an active account with us by email.
Material changes — such as a change in the purpose for which we use your data, a new category of data we collect, a new third party with whom we share your data, or a change to the legal basis on which we rely — will be communicated clearly and with reasonable notice before they take effect. For UK customers, where a change would require a new legal basis for processing, we will seek fresh consent if required by UK GDPR.
Your continued use of solkinis.com after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any changes, you may close your account and stop using our website at any time.
