1. Overview

Virtual Tour Lab ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the personal information of our clients, their end users (property tour viewers), and anyone who visits our website or uses our platform. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information in connection with our 360° virtual tour SaaS platform.

In simple terms: We collect only what we need to provide our service. We do not sell your data to advertisers or third parties. You own your content. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

2. Data We Collect

Account & Business Information

When you register for Virtual Tour Lab, we collect your name, email address, phone number, company name, billing address, and payment information (processed securely through our payment gateway; we do not store card numbers).

Tour Content

We store the content you upload — including 360° images, videos, documents, and branding materials — to power your virtual tours. This content belongs to you.

Tour Viewer Data

When someone views one of your virtual tours, we may collect: IP address, device type, browser type, pages/rooms visited, time spent, hotspots clicked, and geolocation (city-level only). This data is provided to you as analytics to understand your tour's performance.

Lead Form Submissions

If your tour includes lead capture forms, the information submitted by viewers (name, phone, email) is passed directly to you as the tour owner. We store this data on your behalf as part of our service.
