Your Content. To enable FitnessPlans to display your Professional Profile and otherwise provide exposure for your work, we need you to provide us with content and materials about your business ("Customer Content"). You grant FitnessPlans a license to use your Customer Content as set out in the FitnessPlans Terms of Use so that FitnessPlans can display your Professional Profile and promote the FitnessPlans Platform, FitnessPlans or your work. We need you to grant FitnessPlans that license and certain other rights detailed in the FitnessPlans Terms of Use so that technical actions we take in operating the FitnessPlans Platform are not considered legal violations. For example, copyright laws could prevent us from processing, maintaining, storing, backing-up and distributing certain content unless you give us these rights. We also use service providers, such as web hosting services, who need to receive the content in order for us to operate the FitnessPlans Platform. In order to maintain a consistent experience for others in the community who may view our editorial articles that feature your photos or who may have saved your photos to their accounts, your photos and public content remain on our Platform after account closure.
