Welcome to Mode Of One. Your privacy matters to us, and we believe you should understand exactly how we handle your information. This policy explains our practices regarding the data we collect from visitors to our website at modeofone.com.
Scope and Who the Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors of the Mode Of One website, located at modeofone.com. It governs the information we collect when you browse our site, view our collections of unique menswear—including our statement jeans, pants, and shirts—or engage with our content. The policy covers data gathered through our website and any related digital services we operate directly.
It does not apply to information collected by third-party websites, even if you reach them through a link on our site. Our brand celebrates individuality, and this policy is designed to be straightforward so you can make informed choices. We are a contemporary menswear brand, and we respect your digital space as much as we value personal style expression.
Information Visitors Provide Directly
We collect information you choose to give us. This typically happens when you decide to take a specific action on our site, turning your visit into an interaction. The type of data depends on what you choose to do.
For example, if you sign up for our newsletter to get updates on new drops and style inspiration, we will collect your email address. If you contact our support team with a question about a product or an order, we will collect the information you provide in that message, such as your name and email. Should you create an account, we will store the details you provide to manage your profile and purchases.
This direct provision of data is entirely your choice. We only collect what is necessary for the specific purpose you initiated.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit modeofone.com, certain information is collected automatically by our systems. This happens passively as you navigate through our pages, exploring our styles.
We gather technical data such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the operating system you are using, and the specific pages you visit. This includes timestamps and the amount of time you spend on a page. We also collect information about the device you are using, such as its general model. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and is gathered through server logs and similar technologies.
Automatically collected information does not directly identify you personally in most cases, but it can be combined with other data to do so. It is essential for maintaining the site’s security, functionality, and performance.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and comparable tracking tools to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a site.
We use two main categories of cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, enabling basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This allows us to improve our site’s design and content.
Some cookies are set by us (first-party), while others are placed by third-party services we use, like our analytics provider. These third-party cookies are governed by their own privacy policies. You have control over cookies through your browser settings, where you can choose to block or delete them, though this may affect site functionality.
Analytics and Site-Performance Measurement
To understand how we can better serve individuals who appreciate unique style, we use analytics services. These tools help us measure traffic, see which parts of our collection resonate, and identify how visitors move through our site.
The analytics provider (for example, Google Analytics) collects information such as how often you visit, what you search for on our site, and what pages you view. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it does not personally identify you. It gives us insights into trends and behaviors, allowing us to optimize the website for a smoother, more engaging browsing experience.
We use this performance data to make informed decisions about content, site layout, and product presentation, ensuring our digital space matches the quality of our physical garments.
Purposes for Using Information
We use the information we collect for several clear and specific purposes, all aimed at providing you with a better service and a more personalized experience.
First, to operate and maintain our website, ensuring it functions correctly and securely. Second, to communicate with you, responding to your inquiries and sending requested updates about our brand and products. Third, to personalize your experience, we may use data to tailor content or recommendations to what we think you might find interesting based on your browsing patterns.
We also use this data for analytics and improvement, analyzing aggregated data to enhance our site’s design and usability. Finally, we use information to comply with legal obligations, protecting our rights and safety where required by law.
Legal Bases Where Applicable
Depending on your location, different legal frameworks may govern how we handle your personal data. In some regions, we must have a valid legal basis for processing your information.
We process data based on consent when you sign up for our newsletter or agree to analytics cookies. We rely on contractual necessity to process information needed to fulfill an order you place. Legitimate interests is another basis, allowing us to process data for purposes like site security and improvement, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. Lastly, we may process data to comply with legal obligations.
We will explain the specific legal basis for any processing at the time we collect the information, ensuring transparency.
Service Providers and Limited Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Period. Your data is not a commodity to us. We share information only with trusted service providers who assist in operating our website and conducting our business.
These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the services they provide to us. Examples include web hosting services, email delivery platforms, and analytics companies. We provide them only with the data necessary for their specific function.
We may also disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a lawful request from a public authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Mode Of One, our users, or the public.
External Product Links and Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites, including retailers where you can purchase our garments or third-party content we think you might appreciate. These sites operate under their own privacy policies, which are not under our control.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit. Mode Of One is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. This policy applies solely to information collected by us through modeofone.com. Your interaction with any third-party site is governed by that site’s terms and privacy statement.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
For example, if you make a purchase, we will retain transaction records for a period necessary to manage the sale and comply with tax and accounting regulations. Analytics data is typically kept in an aggregated, non-identifiable form for longer periods to allow for trend analysis.
When the information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it so it can no longer be associated with you.
Security Practices and Limitations
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include using secure socket layer (SSL) technology for data in transit and maintaining robust internal security protocols.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We are committed to our role as stewards of your information and will promptly notify you in the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a high risk to your rights.

These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those of your country of residence.
By using our website and providing your information, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. We will take steps to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with applicable law.
