Last updated: October 8, 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what personal data Classi collects, how we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have.
Contents
1. Who we are
Classi (“we”, “us”) operates the classifieds marketplace available at classi.parallelworldshop.com (the “Service”). We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us through the Contact page.
2. Information we collect
- Account details: name, email address, phone number (if you add one), password (stored in encrypted form) and profile information.
- Ads and content: the text, photos, prices, categories, locations and contact details you publish, tags and any reviews or comments you leave.
- Messages: conversations you have with other users through Classi chat and messages you send us.
- Purchases: details of memberships and promotions you buy. Card details are handled by our payment providers; we do not store full card numbers.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser type, pages visited, search and filter activity, and approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Cookies and similar technologies as described below.
3. How we use your information
- to create and manage your account and to publish, review and display your ads;
- to let you chat with other users and to send you service emails, such as notifications about unread messages;
- to process payments for memberships and promotions;
- to detect fraud, abuse and security issues, and to enforce our terms;
- to understand how the Service is used and to improve it;
- to answer your questions and requests;
- to send you news or offers, where you have agreed to receive them (you can unsubscribe at any time);
- to comply with legal obligations.
4. Legal bases (EEA, UK and similar regions)
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: contract (to provide the Service you asked for); legitimate interests (to keep the Service secure, prevent fraud and improve it); consent (for optional cookies and marketing); and legal obligation (to meet our legal duties).
5. What is public
Ads are public. Anything you put in an ad, such as your title, description, photos, location, display name and any phone number or contact details you choose to show, can be seen by anyone who visits Classi and may be indexed by search engines. Do not publish information you want to keep private.
6. Who we share information with
- Other users: when you publish an ad or send a message.
- Service providers who help us run Classi, such as hosting, email delivery, analytics, maps, security and payment processing. They may use your data only to provide services to us.
- Authorities and professional advisers when the law requires it or to protect rights, safety and property.
- A successor if Classi is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
We do not sell your personal information for money.
7. International transfers
Classi serves users worldwide, so your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may have different data protection rules. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.
8. How long we keep your data
We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. After you close your account we delete or anonymise your data, except where we must keep it for legal, tax, security or fraud-prevention reasons, or to resolve disputes.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: access your data; correct it; delete it; restrict or object to certain processing; receive a copy in a portable format; withdraw consent at any time; and complain to your local data protection authority. Residents of some regions, including California, have additional rights to know, delete and correct personal information and not to be discriminated against for exercising them. To use any of these rights, contact us through the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity first.
10. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, protect the Service and understand how it is used. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of Classi work.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, such as encrypted connections and restricted access. No online service is completely secure, so please use a strong, unique password and never share it.
12. Children
Classi is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
13. Links to other websites
Our Service may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. If we make significant changes, we will let you know through the Service or by email.
