You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it.
Content Ownership and Licensing
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content in connection with the Platform and our business, including for the purpose of displaying it to other users or the public based on your chosen visibility settings.
Responsibility for Public Content
When you make User Content public or share it with specific users through our visibility settings, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are solely responsible for determining what content you make public or share.
- Public content is accessible to anyone on the internet, including unauthenticated visitors who may view, copy, or share your content.
- Content shared with specific users (whitelist) may be redistributed by those users.
- We are not responsible for how others use, copy, or distribute content you have made publicly available.
Content Moderation
We reserve the right to review, remove, or refuse to display any User Content that violates this Agreement, is inappropriate, or may harm the Platform or other users. However, we are not obligated to monitor all User Content and do not assume responsibility for monitoring or policing content posted by users.

9. Public Profiles and Content Sharing
The Platform allows you to control the visibility of your profile and the fitness content you create. Understanding these features and their implications is important for your privacy and security.
Profile Visibility Settings
You can set your profile visibility to:
- Private: Only you can view your profile information.
- Friends: Reserved for future use when friend relationships are implemented. Currently functions the same as Private.
- Public: Anyone, including unauthenticated visitors, can view your profile page containing your display name, username, profile picture, and join date.
Content Visibility Settings
For workouts, programs, and custom exercises you create, you can set visibility to:
- Private: Only you can access the content.
- Public: Anyone with the link can access the content, including unauthenticated visitors. Content is accessible via a unique URL (slug).
- Whitelist: Only specific users you designate can access the content. You control the list of users who have access.
Cascading Visibility
When you change the visibility of a program, please note:
- Making a program public or adding users to its whitelist automatically makes all workouts in that program and all custom exercises used in those workouts accessible at the same visibility level.
- This ensures that users accessing a shared program can also access the workouts and exercises it contains.
- If you want to maintain private exercises or workouts, do not include them in programs you plan to share.
Important Sharing Considerations
- No Guaranteed Privacy: We do not guarantee the privacy of content shared with specific users (whitelist). Recipients can share links, take screenshots, or otherwise redistribute content you have shared with them.
- Unauthenticated Access: Public content is accessible without login, meaning anyone on the internet can view it.
- Revocability: You can change visibility settings at any time to revoke access. However, cached copies or previously accessed content may remain available to users who accessed it before you changed settings.
- Search Engines: Public content may be indexed by search engines. While we implement technical measures to discourage indexing, we cannot prevent search engines from caching your public content.
- Content URLs: Shared content is accessible via unique URLs (slugs). Anyone with the URL can access the content if it is public or if they are on the whitelist.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.
