Who we are

STAG Media ("Shoot Then Aim Gymnastics", "STAG", "we", "us") is a New Zealand-based gymnastics media organisation. We produce and broadcast live coverage of gymnastics competitions and run this website, stagmedia.co, where the community can watch live events, view replays, read our blog, and manage a STAG+ membership. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We only collect what we need to run the service:

• Account details — if you create a STAG+ account, your email address, display name, and a securely hashed password.
• Membership and payments — if you subscribe, billing is handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card details; we keep only the subscription status and identifiers Stripe returns to us.
• Community content — comments and live-chat messages you post, along with the account they were posted from.
• Basic technical data — standard information your browser sends (such as approximate anonymised page views) so we can keep the site running.

How we use your information

• To provide the website, live streams, replays, and STAG+ membership features.
• To manage your account, comments, and support requests.
• To process membership payments through Stripe.
• To operate and improve the reliability of the service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.

Our use of the YouTube API Services

STAG Media uses the YouTube API Services to create and manage our own live broadcasts. When we cover a competition, our platform programmatically creates a clearly-labelled YouTube live event for each camera feed, connects it to its stream, and checks its status so we can display the correct live feed and its replay on this website. All broadcasts are our own original event coverage; we do not access, collect, or analyse other users' or channels' data through the API.

Because we use the YouTube API Services, our handling of any YouTube-related data is also governed by Google's policies. By using the parts of our site that display YouTube content, you are also agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service, and Google's Privacy Policy explains how Google handles data.

Service providers we rely on

We use trusted third parties to run the service, and share only the data needed for each to do its job:

• Google / YouTube — hosting and delivery of our live broadcasts and replays.
• Livepeer — ingesting camera feeds from phones and browsers so they can be broadcast.
• Stripe — secure payment processing for STAG+ memberships.
• Supabase — our database, storing accounts and site content.
• Vercel — hosting of the website itself.

Data retention and your choices

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time by contacting us. You can also close your STAG+ account, which removes your account data.
