ModernCouture.online does not sell your personal information as defined under applicable privacy laws like CCPA/CPRA.

As a global platform based in the United States, https://moderncouture.online/ may transfer data internationally, including to service providers in other countries. For users in the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland, we implement appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure adequate protection.

We comply with relevant adequacy decisions and binding corporate rules where applicable.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law:

  • Order-related data: Retained for accounting, warranty, and legal purposes (typically 7 years)
  • Account information: Kept while your account is active, plus a reasonable period after closure

  • Deletion: Request removal (subject to legal exceptions)
  • Opt-Out/Objection: Stop marketing or certain processing
