Zumitomi Oy – Finnish Privacy Technology Company

Learn about Zumitomi Oy, the Finnish company behind privis.app - Building fair technology since 1997.

Technology with respect for privacy

Zumitomi Oy was established in 1997, based in Vantaa, Finland. The company originally focused on importing automotive technology and providing management and marketing services.

In the late 1990s, when high-quality website builders were still rare, we began developing websites ourselves — starting in 1999. Over the following years, we built and successfully exited several web services.

Today, our main focus is privis.app — a private messaging platform designed from the ground up with one core belief:

Personal communication should remain personal.

Our Mission

We create digital tools that respect your fundamental right to privacy — without forcing you to give up convenience.

Finnish Roots

Proudly based in Finland with strong European values of transparency and individual rights.

Privacy First

We minimize data collection and never build user profiles for advertising or third parties.

Practical Innovation

Making strong privacy accessible and easy to use for everyday people.

Modern messaging services often force uncomfortable trade-offs:

your phone number, your contacts, permanent chat history, and constant data collection. We saw a better way.

Different situations need different levels of protection. privis.app offers Easy, Medium, and Hard encryption modes.

Built for the real world.

Works in any browser, no app installation, automatic message deletion, and minimal data retention.
