Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 5, 2026

Last updated: October 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Pilates.TV collects, uses, shares, retains, and protects information when you visit or use Pilates.TV, create an account, interact with videos or channels, submit a YouTube link, claim a listing, report content, or contact us.

Pilates.TV App for iPhone

The Pilates.TV app for iPhone uses the same Pilates.TV account and the same account information as the website. The app does not create a separate account or separate copy of a member’s Pilates.TV data. The only app-specific information stored on the phone is the sign-in key used to keep the member signed in. That key is kept in the phone’s secure storage.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

Depending on how you use Pilates.TV, we may collect:

  • your name, display name, email address, and password in protected or hashed form;
  • an optional profile photograph and your selected Pilates style;
  • YouTube links and the apparatus, level, style, category, or description connected with a submission;
  • comments and other information you choose to publish;
  • likes, subscriptions, watch-later selections, playlist activity, and other Pilates.TV account activity;
  • reports, flags, appeals, support requests, privacy requests, copyright requests, and messages sent through the Contact form;
  • a creator-verification code and the results of a claim or removal request; and
  • information connected with optional promotional or paid services if those services are offered.

Information used by the iPhone app

The app may use your name and email address to sign you in, your Pilates.TV account ID, YouTube links and descriptions for videos you add, reports you submit, channel subscriptions, your Watch Later list, and the creators you have blocked. This is the same account information used by Pilates.TV on the website and is not maintained as a separate app database.

Public information from YouTube and other public sources

Pilates.TV may use publicly available YouTube information to create or maintain Pilates-focused listings. This may include a video’s title, video ID, thumbnail, channel name, channel ID, public channel description, public video description, publication date, duration, and other public information made available by YouTube.

Pilates.TV does not request or store a creator’s YouTube password. At launch, the creator-claim process reads a public YouTube channel description to check for a temporary code. The code establishes control of that YouTube channel at the time of verification; it does not by itself establish copyright ownership of every video on the channel.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Service, our site and service providers may receive technical information such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser, operating-system, and device information;
  • pages viewed, referring page, timestamps, and basic activity logs;
  • security, fraud-prevention, and error information; and
  • cookies, local-storage values, or similar identifiers described in the Cookies Policy.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • provide, maintain, secure, and improve Pilates.TV;
  • create and manage accounts, private account areas, public channels, subscriptions, likes, watch-later lists, playlists, notifications, and profile settings;
  • display and categorize Pilates-related videos and preserve source attribution;
  • process video submissions and create a public channel when a member’s first video is published;
  • verify creator claims by checking a public YouTube channel description for the code supplied by Pilates.TV;
  • transfer eligible listed videos to a verified member account;
  • process creator-removal requests and maintain a do-not-list-again record so removed channels are not deliberately re-added;
  • respond to questions, support requests, legal requests, reports, appeals, and safety concerns;
  • detect spam, fraud, impersonation, misuse, security threats, and attempts to manipulate engagement or reporting systems;
  • send service messages concerning accounts, claims, submissions, reports, notifications, or policy actions;
  • provide optional announcements or marketing where allowed and where the recipient has not opted out;
  • comply with legal obligations and protect the rights, safety, and integrity of Pilates.TV, its users, creators, and the public; and
  • prepare aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.

The app may use the language setting provided by your phone to show videos in that language first. Pilates.TV does not store the phone’s language setting.

Public Profiles, Channels, and Activity

Information you make public may be visible to anyone. Depending on the features you use, this may include your display name, profile image, public channel, published videos, comments, and other information you choose to publish.

Your password, private account information, private messages, and Contact-form submissions are not intended to be public.

YouTube API Services and Embedded Players

Pilates.TV uses YouTube API Services and YouTube’s embedded player. By using YouTube-powered features on Pilates.TV, you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. Google’s handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Pilates.TV uses public YouTube information for discovery, listings, source attribution, and creator verification. At launch, Pilates.TV does not ask members to authorize access to private YouTube account information and does not upload, edit, like, comment on, or delete YouTube content on a member’s behalf.

YouTube or Google may receive device, network, playback, cookie, or account information when a YouTube player, thumbnail, or related service loads or is used. YouTube controls the player, captions, caption translation, advertising within the player, and availability of the underlying video.

The iPhone app does not include advertising trackers or third-party analytics tools. Videos play through YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embedded player, sometimes called the no-cookie player. YouTube and Google may process information when the player is loaded or used, and that processing is governed by YouTube’s and Google’s own terms and privacy practices.

Pilates.TV is independent and is not endorsed by, sponsored by, affiliated with, or operated by YouTube or Google.

Voice Search

If you use voice search, speech recognition is provided by your browser, device, or its speech-service provider. Pilates.TV receives the resulting search text but does not intentionally record or store the audio itself. Your browser or device provider may process audio under its own privacy terms.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Pilates.TV uses cookies and similar technologies for security, consent choices, account sessions, display preferences, watch-later functions, view counting, email functions, source tracking, translation, and embedded media. The Cookies Policy provides more detail and explains available choices.

The live site currently uses or may load services connected with Google Fonts, Gravatar, YouTube players and thumbnails, Cloudflare Turnstile, MailPoet, WooCommerce source tracking, GTranslate, and an Instagram feed. Pilates.TV does not currently use Google Analytics or a Facebook/Meta advertising pixel.

How We Share Information

We may share information:

  • with hosting, security, email, translation, content-delivery, embedded-media, form, and other service providers that help operate Pilates.TV;
  • with YouTube or Google when their player, API, thumbnails, fonts, or related services are used;
  • with authorities, courts, advisers, or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, prevent harm, investigate misuse, or protect legal rights;
  • in connection with a merger, financing, reorganization, sale, or transfer of the Service or its assets, subject to applicable law; or
  • at your direction or with your consent.

Pilates.TV does not sell personal information for money and does not currently use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If those practices change, this Policy and the available choices will be updated before the change where required.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where European, United Kingdom, or similar privacy law applies, Pilates.TV may process information:

  • to perform a contract or provide a feature you requested;
  • with your consent, where consent is required;
  • to comply with a legal obligation; and
  • for legitimate interests such as operating and securing the Service, preventing abuse, maintaining accurate listings, responding to users and creators, and protecting legal rights, where those interests are not overridden by applicable rights.

You may withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the legal basis. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Retention

Pilates.TV retains information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including operating accounts and features, maintaining security, handling reports or disputes, complying with law, and enforcing policies.

Account information is generally retained while an account remains active. Some information may be retained after closure when reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, security, recordkeeping, legal claims, backups, or compliance. Creator-removal and do-not-list-again records may be retained to honor the creator’s request. Reports, appeals, copyright matters, and policy-enforcement records may be retained to document decisions and prevent repeated abuse.

Deleting Your Account

You may delete your account from the iPhone app by going to You, then Settings, and selecting Delete account. The account is closed immediately: you are signed out on all devices, and your Pilates.TV videos and public channel are taken offline. Our team then permanently removes the account and associated personal information, subject to the limited retention described above where records must reasonably be kept for security, legal compliance, disputes, creator-removal requests, or prevention of abuse.

You may also request account deletion through the Pilates.TV Contact form by selecting Privacy or Data Request.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • request access to personal information;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • request deletion;
  • request a portable copy of certain information;
  • object to or restrict certain processing;
  • withdraw consent;
  • opt out of certain marketing;
  • appeal a privacy-request decision where applicable; and
  • complain to an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority.

Use the Contact form and select Privacy or Data Request. Pilates.TV may need to verify your identity or authority before acting on a request. Rights are subject to applicable exceptions.

You may also update available profile information through account settings, change cookie choices through the consent tool, and use unsubscribe controls included in optional marketing messages.

Children and Age Requirement

Pilates.TV is not directed to children. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Watching a publicly available video does not require an account. Pilates.TV does not knowingly collect account information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account was created by a person under 18, we may close the account and delete associated information as required.

Security

Pilates.TV uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No website, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

International Use and Transfers

Pilates.TV is based in the United States and is available internationally. Information may be processed in the United States and other countries where service providers operate. Where required, Pilates.TV will use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.

Changes to This Policy

Pilates.TV may update this Policy when the Service, providers, practices, or legal obligations change. The effective date will be updated, and additional notice will be provided when required.

Operator and Contact Information

Pilates.TV is a service operated by Frederick Bryan, who is responsible for the personal information processed through the service. Privacy and data requests may be submitted through the Pilates.TV Contact form.
