Modest Kouture ("we," "us," or "our") operates a multi-vendor e-commerce marketplace. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our website and services.
Information we collect
- Account data: name, email address, password (hashed), and profile details you provide when registering.
- Order data: shipping addresses, purchase history, and transaction details needed to fulfill orders.
- Payment data: payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Usage data: device type, browser, pages visited, and similar technical information collected through cookies and logs.
How we use information
- Provide, maintain, and improve the marketplace.
- Process orders, payments, and vendor payouts.

- Prevent fraud, enforce our terms, and comply with legal obligations.
Service providers
We use trusted third parties to operate our platform, including:
- Supabase (authentication, database, and file storage)
- Stripe (payment processing and Connect payouts)
- Resend (transactional email)
- Vercel (hosting)
- Cloudflare Turnstile (bot protection on sign-in, sign-up, password reset, and password change)
- komoot Photon (address autocomplete — the address text you type is sent to its public API)
We do not sell or share personal information, do not use it for targeted advertising, and do not run advertising or analytics trackers on this site.
How long we keep information
- Account data (profile, addresses, likes, followed stores, messages, reviews, and questions): for as long as your account is open, then deleted on request.
- Order, payment, tax, refund, and return records: for as long as needed to fulfill orders, handle returns and disputes, and meet accounting, tax, and legal obligations — including after an account is deleted.
- Guest carts: 30 days. The guest cart cookie expires after 30 days and abandoned guest carts are removed after 30 days.
- Security and usage logs (including rate-limit and hosting logs): for the limited period needed to keep the site secure and diagnose problems.
