Privacy & Legal Notice

1. Who we are

Apollo TV Forum (“we”, “us”, “the forum”) is a fan-run online discussion community. The site is dedicated to conversations about movies, TV series, sports coverage and legal streaming platforms.

We are not a TV provider, IPTV provider, streaming platform or telecommunications company and we do not operate any TV or streaming service.

For any privacy or legal questions, you can contact the forum staff at:
Email: contact@apollotvforum.com

2. What this site is (and is not)

All brand names, channel names, series titles, logos and trademarks mentioned by users on the forum belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and discussion only.

3. User-generated content & responsibility

Threads, posts and private messages on the forum are created by individual users. These users are responsible for the content they publish and for making sure they do not break any laws or violate the forum rules.

The moderation team may remove or edit content that:

• Promotes piracy or illegal streaming sources.
• Attempts to sell or buy accounts, codes or similar items.
• Contains spam, misleading “offers” or abusive behaviour.
• Violates copyright or the rights of third parties.

If you believe some content infringes your rights or is illegal, please email contact@apollotvforum.com with a link to the relevant page and a short explanation.

4. Data we collect

We try to keep data collection minimal and focused on operating the forum safely. Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

4.1. Account information

• Chosen forum username (nickname).
• Email address used for registration and notifications.
• Profile details you optionally add (e.g., short bio or interests).
• Password (stored in hashed form and not visible to us in plain text).

4.2. Forum activity

• Posts, replies, votes and private messages you send through the forum.
• Time and date of your interactions, such as when your account was created and last active.

4.3. Technical data & logs

• Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, device type, time of request).
• Security-related logs that help detect spam, abuse or attempted attacks.

4.4. Cookies & analytics

The forum may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in as you navigate between pages.
• Remember basic preferences (for example, theme or language).
• Measure general, anonymous statistics about visits (e.g., number of users online).

When we use third-party analytics or security services, they are used only to operate and secure the forum and not for aggressive advertising or tracking outside this site.

5. How we use your information

We may use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your forum account.
• To display your posts, replies and profile to other members as part of normal forum use.
• To send important service emails (for example, password reset or account-related notifications).
• To keep the forum secure and prevent abuse, spam and fraud.
• To improve the forum layout, categories and rules based on how people actually use it.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties and we do not use your forum details to send unrelated marketing emails from third-party companies.

6. Legal bases for processing

Depending on your location, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases when processing your personal data:

• Consent: when you choose to create an account, post content or subscribe to notifications.
• Legitimate interests: operating a safe online forum, preventing abuse and improving the service.
• Legal obligations: complying with applicable laws, court orders or valid requests from authorities.

7. How we share information

In normal circumstances, your personal data is only used within the forum environment. We may share limited information:

• With technical service providers who host or maintain the forum software (under appropriate safeguards).
• If required by law, for example in response to a valid legal request from a competent authority.
• To protect the rights, property or safety of our users, the forum, or the public, when permitted by law.

8. Data retention

We keep account information and associated posts for as long as your account remains active, unless you request deletion or we are required to remove it under our rules or applicable law.

Server logs and security logs are usually kept for a limited period that is reasonably necessary to analyse incidents and maintain the forum’s stability.

9. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights over your personal data, such as:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
• The right to request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
• The right to request deletion of your account and associated personal information, subject to legal or legitimate interests (for example, keeping minimal records to protect against abuse).
• The right to object to certain uses of your data or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please email contact@apollotvforum.com with your forum username and a clear description of your request.

10. Children’s privacy

Apollo TV Forum is intended for adults and older teenagers who can legally participate in online communities in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are below the minimum age required to use such services.

If you believe a child has registered an account without appropriate permission, please contact us so we can review and, if necessary, remove the account.

12. Changes to this notice

We may update this Privacy & Legal Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the forum, legal requirements or best practices. When we make significant updates, we will post a notice on the forum and adjust the “last updated” date below.
