StuntIQ Youth Athlete Media Policy

Version: 1.0 Effective Date: March 2026 Applies to: All video uploads containing minor athletes

---

1. Overview

StuntIQ is used by cheerleading gyms, athletic programs, and sports organizations whose athletes frequently include minors — individuals under 18 years of age. This policy establishes the specific requirements and protections that apply when videos containing minor athletes are uploaded to and processed by the StuntIQ platform.

This policy is mandatory for all account holders who upload or may upload videos containing minors.

---

2. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to:

• Gym administrators and coaches who upload videos on behalf of their organizations
• Athletes under 18 depicted in uploaded videos (even if they do not have accounts)
• Parents and guardians of minor athletes whose videos are uploaded

---

3. What Data Is Collected About Minor Athletes

When a video containing a minor athlete is uploaded to StuntIQ, the following data is collected from that video:

3.1 Visual Data

• The video frames depicting the minor athlete

3.2 AI-Derived Body Data

The AI pipeline extracts the following from every detected person in the video, including minors:

• Pose keypoints: 14 body position coordinates per frame per person
• Tracking identifiers: Anonymous numeric IDs assigned to each tracked person throughout the video
• Role classifications: AI-generated labels (e.g., flyer, base) assigned to each tracked person
• Phase data: Stunt phase assignments per tracked person per frame
• Motion and stability features: Aggregated statistics derived from body movement patterns

This data is body-position and movement data derived from the visual appearance of the athlete. It does not include name, age, school, or other identity information unless such information appears in the video itself.

3.3 What Is Not Collected

• StuntIQ does not collect the names or identities of individual minor athletes
• Minor athletes do not create their own accounts
• Minor athletes are not tracked across different video uploads or across organizations

4. Parental and Guardian Consent Requirements

4.1 Account Holder Responsibility

Gym administrators, coaches, and other account holders are responsible for ensuring that appropriate consent has been obtained before uploading videos containing minor athletes.

Specifically, by uploading a video containing a minor athlete, the account holder represents that:

• The parent or guardian of each minor athlete depicted in the video has consented to:
• Video recording of the athlete
• AI-based analysis of the video including body pose extraction
• Use of AI-derived data (not raw video) for platform improvement and AI model training
• This consent was obtained by the account holder's organization (e.g., through an enrollment form, media release, or similar instrument)
• The consent obtained covers the uses described in this policy and in the Video Upload Consent Agreement

4.2 Recommended Consent Language

We recommend that gym administrators include language similar to the following in their enrollment paperwork:

"By enrolling in this program, I consent to video recording of my child's participation in practices and performances. These recordings may be uploaded to StuntIQ, an AI sports analysis platform. StuntIQ uses automated computer vision to analyze videos, including extracting body position data (pose keypoints) from each detected athlete. This data may be used by StuntIQ's operator (SkillGrade Labs LLC) to improve its AI sports analysis models. Raw video footage is stored securely and is not publicly accessible. I understand that I may request deletion of my child's video content by contacting the gym."

This is provided as guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Organizations should consult their own legal counsel to ensure their consent practices comply with applicable law.

4.3 No Direct Collection from Minors

StuntIQ does not collect data directly from minor athletes. The platform is accessed exclusively by adult account holders (coaches, gym administrators) who upload content on behalf of their organizations.

5. Data Protections for Minor Athlete Data

In addition to the general security measures described in the Privacy Policy, SkillGrade Labs LLC applies the following specific protections to video data containing minors:

5.1 Restricted Access

Video files and AI outputs are accessible only to:

• The account (gym/organization) that uploaded the video
• Platform administrators (logged and audited)

No other users can access videos from another organization.

5.2 No Advertising Use

Data derived from videos containing minor athletes is never used for advertising, behavioral profiling, or any commercial purpose other than operating and improving the StuntIQ platform.

5.3 No Public Exposure

Videos containing minor athletes are never served from public URLs. All access is through authenticated, short-lived signed links generated by our backend.

5.4 Training Data Protections

When AI-derived features from videos are used for model training:

• Raw video footage is not used directly as training input
• No identity information is associated with training features
• Pose keypoints and movement features are used as numerical vectors without personal identifiers

5.5 Deletion on Request

Parents, guardians, or gym administrators may request deletion of a specific video containing a minor athlete, or consent revocation for that specific video. In the current beta, these actions operate at the individual-video level and remove the application-managed active data for that video from the product.

6. Applicable Laws

Depending on the location of your organization and the athletes, the following legal frameworks may apply:

Law	Applicability
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)	Applies to collection of personal information from or about children under 13 in the United States
Illinois BIPA	May apply to body geometry/pose data collected from Illinois residents
Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act	May apply to biometric identifiers collected in Texas
State student privacy laws (e.g., SOPIPA)	May apply if athletes are students and data is shared in educational contexts
FERPA	May apply if participating organizations are educational institutions

Account holders are responsible for ensuring their use of StuntIQ complies with the laws applicable to their organization and athlete population.

SkillGrade Labs LLC is committed to cooperating with legal obligations and will respond to lawful requests related to minor athlete data protection.
