What we collect and why
When you create an account, we collect what we need to identify you and the organization you represent: name, email address, company name, country, and — if you pay via Stripe — billing details. Stripe handles payment card data; we never see it.
When you use the platform, we store the project documentation you upload (photos, 360 panoramas, videos, documents, annotations, comments) and operational metadata needed to show it back to the right people (who accessed what portal and when, which is visible to you in your audit logs).
We also capture baseline operational signals — request logs, errors, and performance metrics — to keep the platform reliable and secure. These do not include the content of your uploads.
Data residency
Canadian accounts: all content and account data is stored exclusively in AWS ca-central-1 (Montreal). Nothing transits out of Canadian borders in the normal course of operation. This is a deliberate choice to support regulated industries, public-sector clients, and Canadian data residency requirements.
United States accounts: data may be stored in U.S. or Canadian regions, as specified in your User Agreement. Encryption standards and access controls are identical.
International accounts: data is stored in Canada. By using the platform from outside Canada and the U.S., you consent to cross-border transfer for processing in Canada.
Who else touches your data
A small set of service providers handle narrow, bounded functions on our behalf. None of them are given access to your project content beyond what they need to deliver their specific service.
Cookies and tracking
We use a small set of first-party cookies, all functional. None are used for advertising, cross-site tracking, or behavioral profiling.
- pp_theme — remembers your light or dark mode preference.
- pp_lang — remembers your language choice (EN, FR, or ES).
- pp_region — remembers which jurisdiction of the Terms of Service you were viewing.
- session — keeps you signed in. HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Never accessible to JavaScript or other sites.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any third-party tracking technologies on our marketing pages.
Access, correction, deletion
You can view and edit most of your personal information at any time from your account settings inside the platform. For anything you can't adjust yourself — for example, deleting your account entirely, exporting all your historical data, or requesting a correction to an audit log — email us and we'll handle it.
Canadian users: your rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) apply. You may request access, correction, and deletion, and you may withdraw consent at any time.
California users: under CCPA, you have the right to know what we collect, request deletion, and opt out of sale. We do not sell your information in any form.
EEA/UK users: where GDPR applies, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, and objection. Reach out and we will fulfil a valid request within 30 days.
When you close your account, you have 30 days to request a full export of your Client Content. After that window, your data is deleted in accordance with our retention policies. Authentication audit trails and signed agreement acceptance records are retained for legal defensibility.
How we protect your data
All data in transit is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher. All data at rest is encrypted with AES-256. Access to production systems is restricted to a small number of Plus15 Media engineers and is logged. We use rate limiting, content security policies, and session cookie hardening (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite) to reduce common web-app attack surface.
If we ever become aware of a security breach that affects your data, we will notify you promptly in accordance with applicable law.
How to reach us about privacy
For any privacy-related question, request, or concern, contact us directly. We aim to respond within five business days, and in any case within the timeline required by the law applicable to you.
