Privacy Policy

---

Your privacy is very important to us. At Rtangent, we have a few guiding principles:

• We seek to minimize the amount of personal information that we collect in order to realize the successful operation of our services.
• We want to improve our services by understanding how they are used and be able to debug problems when they are encountered on the platform.
• We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share information even if it is not perceived to be personal information.
• We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
• We do not support advertising nor pass data onto other services for advertising.

Who we are and what this policy covers

We’re Rtangent, developer and provider of the Guided™ platform. Guided™ is designed to host live and self-service 360 virtual tours that are developed in collaboration with our customers.

This privacy policy applies to information collected when you use a tour developed for a customer and hosted on the Guided™ platform. Access includes by web, mobile web, or other app with access to Guided™.

Information we collect

• Live-Guided session access
  • The presence of a unique connected device during a live-Guided session, for counting connected devices.
• For Self-Service-Guided access
  • Unless you opt out, we use Google Analytics to collect information such as your anonymized IP address, type of device, operating system, referring URLs, and date and time of page visits
• Both types: Our server logs information about platform “exceptions” such as pages failing to load or other unexpected behaviors

How and Why We Use This Information

• The collected information allows us to count our audience size, see the overall patterns of usage on the site, help us record any difficulties you have with the site
• We want to promote to other potential customers, for example, in our marketing, statistics about how Guided is servicing our current customers.
• We sometimes need to debug problems with our services, which requires monitoring the operation of the site, isolating faults, repairing, and preventing future occurrences.

Sharing Information
We only share information captured in aggregate.

• We use information to produce reports to our hosted customers about their tours.
• We report aggregate metrics such as number of users per tour and geographic origin to quantify the effectiveness and reach.
• We do not share information with advertisers – our use of Google Analytics is not exported to other Google services or shared with other Google properties

Things We Do Not Share

• We do not use analytics for advertising nor share with Google for advertising
• We do not collect login (email) or related personal information from our site visitors

How Long We Keep Information

• We retain records of web access until (a) aggregate reports are generated on a monthly basis and (b) detailed data are no longer required to for debugging and/or isolating faults in the operation of the platform.
• Not more than 2 months, purged automatically by Google Analytics

Security

• Collected data are secured by the Google Analytics platform accessible by limited role-based access and secured with 2-factor authentication.
• Detailed collected data are not saved outside of Google Analytics and remain on server until purged.

Your Choices
Because we collect so little personal information, your options for using our site are relatively simple. You can:

• Use the Live-Guided session which only collects user counts
• Opt out of our use of Google Analytics for Self-Service-Guided sessions
• Reject Google Analytics cookies on your browser using settings or a plug-in
• Not use our platform and site

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA)

• For audiences under age 13 (or 16 in Europe): Live-Guided sessions collect no COPPA-defined personal information from users.
• For general audiences: Self-Serve-Guided sessions collect information for understanding browsing behavior (described in “information we collect”) using Google Analytics.
• For Self-Serve-Guided sessions, parents wishing to opt out of Google Analytics on the site should select this option when accepting cookie use, or disable the use of Google Analytics on the browser.
• We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 (or 16 in Europe).

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has clicked through to accept the use of cookies on the Self-Serve-Guided site, we will take steps to remove any collected data from Google Analytics. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under the age of 13 (or 16 in Europe) without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from Google Analytics.
