Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Modern Athlete ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our website, purchase our products or services, or interact with us. We process data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and use industry-standard practices, including secure payment processing through Stripe.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Identity and contact data: name, email address, phone number, and (where provided) social media handles such as Instagram.
• Payment and transaction data: billing address, payment method information, and transaction history. Card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers on our systems.
• Usage and technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you interact with our site (e.g., forms submitted, links clicked).
• Communications: messages you send to us (e.g., via contact forms, booking tools, or email) and our responses.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services (e.g., delivering digital products, scheduling calls, running automations).
• Process payments and fulfill orders, including through Stripe, and to prevent fraud and comply with financial regulations.
• Communicate with you about your account, orders, bookings, and our offerings (e.g., confirmations, support, marketing where you have opted in).
• Send data to trusted service providers (e.g., automation and workflow tools) only as needed to deliver the services you requested.
• Analyze usage to improve our website and user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Payment Processing and Stripe

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. When you make a purchase, you provide payment information directly to Stripe (or through their secure interface). Stripe's collection and use of your payment data are governed by their Privacy Policy and terms. We receive only the information necessary to complete the transaction (e.g., last four digits of a card, billing details, transaction status). We do not store your full payment card details. By paying through our site, you agree to Stripe's processing of your data as described in their policies.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with: (a) Stripe and other payment or fulfillment partners as needed to process payments and deliver services; (b) service providers who assist us with hosting, analytics, email, or automation (under strict confidentiality and data-processing terms); (c) professional advisers or authorities when required by law or to protect our rights and safety. Any third party that receives your data is expected to use it only for the purposes we specify and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and analyze traffic. Third-party services (e.g., analytics, Stripe) may also set cookies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Payment data is handled by Stripe using industry-standard security (e.g., PCI DSS). No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we encourage you to use strong credentials and to contact us if you suspect any unauthorized use of your information.

8. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal and tax obligations (e.g., transaction records), and to resolve disputes. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with our retention schedule.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based, or to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise these rights or ask questions about our data practices, contact us using the details provided on our website. For payment-related data, Stripe may also provide options and information in their dashboard and privacy policy.
