Data privacy and security are our top priorities and are at the center of all the products and systems we build. We have strict procedures and security features in place to try to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, we strive to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and take all steps necessary to ensure we handle data securely.

We do not share or sell your personal details and data to outside parties.

Shopping Data

We collect data on your shopping preferences and user profile to continuously improve our services. This helps us improve our offerings and recommendations and customize our users' browsing experiences. We do not share or sell your personal details and data to outside parties.

Measurement Data

After signing up, you can complete a body scan of yourself, allowing us to calculate your body measurements. This process only takes a few seconds, and your scans are deleted from our servers. Your measurements are only visible to you in your account—they aren’t publicly displayed. We use your measurements to generate your Parallels feed on the home page and recommend what size to buy using our size recommender tool.

Post Data

You grant Parallel and our users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, store, display, reproduce, save, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute your User Content on Parallel solely to operate, develop, providing, and using Parallel.

How we protect your data

The security of your information is important to us. We have a team dedicated to protecting your information and have put physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in place. These measures include limiting access, using encryption, testing for vulnerabilities, advanced malware detection, employing pseudonymization and anonymization techniques, and more. Though we hate to say it, despite our efforts, we can’t guarantee that user information will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a breach of any of our safeguards. You provide us with information at your own risk.
