9. No Bug Bounty Unless Stated

Submitting a report does not create any right to payment or reward.
10. Good-Faith Reports
We appreciate good-faith reports that help improve Playflick’s security.
If you follow this policy and act responsibly, we will aim to review your report in good faith.
However, we may take action if your activity is harmful, unlawful, abusive, disruptive, extortionate, deceptive, or outside this policy.

15. Third-Party Services
Playflick may use third-party services for hosting, storage, payments, analytics, email, security, advertising, content delivery, video processing, livestreaming, push notifications, login, and other features.

Public disclosure without coordination may put users, creators, advertisers, data, or systems at risk.
