The rail we chose
When an approved result originates on the outside video platform, FilteredTube plays it through that provider's official privacy-enhanced embedded player. The content stays on its original rail; what FilteredTube provides is everything around it - the reviewed search, the clean categories, the focused player shell, the boundary.
We do not scrape, cache, re-host, or convert outside video into files. That line is legal, ethical, and practical at once: creators' relationships with their platform stay intact, and our promises stay ones we can keep forever.
Privacy-enhanced by default
The embed FilteredTube uses is the provider's privacy-enhanced mode, which limits the tracking that ordinary embedded playback performs. Combined with the product's own restraint - no advertising identifiers, analytics limited to product improvement - the result is playback with a dramatically smaller data footprint than watching in the open.
The honest limits: an embed is still the provider's player, and the provider's own terms govern inside that frame. What FilteredTube controls is which items ever reach the frame - which, for a filtered product, is the control that matters.

- Privacy-enhanced embedding shrinks the tracking footprint.
- FilteredTube's control is the doorway: what reaches the player at all.
