2. Purpose of This Policy
Playflick accounts may contain personal data, creator content, business records, payment history, monetisation tools, communities, subscriptions, memberships, saved items, messages, and security records. Account ownership changes can create privacy, fraud, payment, rights, and safety risks.
This policy explains:
- Whether accounts may be merged or transferred
- How creator or business ownership changes may be reviewed
- What account sale or trading activity is prohibited
- What evidence Playflick may request before ownership changes
- How payment, tax, rights, and security issues may affect transfers
- How Playflick may handle disputes and suspicious transfer requests
3. Feature Availability
Account merge tools, ownership transfer tools, creator channel transfer tools, business account transfer tools, profile handover tools, team handover tools, and related ownership-change features may not be available to every user, creator, business, organisation, country, account type, or feature.
Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue ownership-change features at any time.
4. No Automatic Right to Transfer Accounts
Playflick accounts are generally personal to the registered account holder or controlled by the authorised business, organisation, or team associated with the account.
Users do not have an automatic right to transfer, sell, merge, assign, rent, or hand over accounts unless Playflick expressly allows it.
5. Account Merges
Playflick may not support merging accounts in every situation.
Where account merge tools are available, merging may be limited because accounts may contain:
- Different login credentials
- Different privacy settings
- Different payment records
- Different subscriptions or memberships
- Different creator monetisation records
- Different moderation or enforcement histories
- Different business or tax records
- Different rights, content, or ownership records
6. Data That May Not Be Mergeable
Some account data may not be mergeable, transferable, or recoverable.
Non-mergeable data may include:
- Private messages
- Payment methods
- Security records
- Two-factor authentication settings
- Moderation history
- Fraud risk records
- Tax records
- Identity verification records
- Certain subscriptions, purchases, rentals, or entitlements
7. Ownership Transfer Requests
Playflick may review ownership transfer requests where appropriate and where features allow.
Transfer requests may involve:
- Creator accounts
- Business accounts
- Organisation accounts
- Studio or distributor accounts
- Community ownership
- Team-managed profiles
- Brand or project accounts
- Legacy or estate-related accounts
8. Evidence Required for Transfers
Playflick may request evidence before approving account ownership changes.
Evidence may include:
- Current account holder approval
- Identity verification
- Business verification
- Proof of authority
- Domain or email ownership
- Legal documents where required
- Tax or payment information where relevant
- Proof that the transfer does not violate law, contract, or Playflick policy
9. Creator Account Transfers
Creator account transfers may require additional review because creator accounts may include videos, followers, monetisation, analytics, memberships, paid content, marketplace listings, sponsorships, communities, and creator identity.
Playflick may review:
- Whether the transfer is authorised
- Whether creator identity would become misleading
- Whether followers may be confused
- Whether monetisation or payout information must be updated
- Whether copyright or licensing rights are affected
- Whether there are fraud, safety, or policy concerns
10. Business and Organisation Transfers
Business, brand, studio, distributor, publisher, festival, charity, organisation, or team account transfers may require proof of business authority.
Playflick may require:
- Authorisation from existing account admins
- Company or organisation documents
- Official domain email verification
- Role or board authorisation where relevant
- Updated billing or tax information
- Updated payout information where relevant
- Review of team roles and permissions
11. Team-Managed Accounts
Where team tools are available, account control may be managed through roles instead of transferring the whole account.
Team role changes may include:
- Adding admins
- Removing admins
- Changing owners
- Changing billing managers
- Changing content managers
- Changing support contacts
- Changing payout managers where available
More information is available in our Team Access & Role Permissions Policy.
12. Account Sales Are Restricted
Users must not sell, buy, trade, auction, rent, lease, broker, or commercially transfer Playflick accounts, usernames, handles, profiles, communities, verification badges, monetisation access, followers, subscriptions, memberships, or account features unless Playflick expressly permits it.
Account sale activity may result in account restriction, transfer refusal, badge removal, monetisation restriction, or account termination.
13. Username and Handle Transfers
Username, handle, or profile URL transfers may be limited or unavailable.
Playflick may refuse or reverse username transfers where there are:
- Impersonation risks
- Trademark concerns
- Fraud concerns
- Account sale concerns
- Harassment concerns
- Verification concerns
- Inactive account concerns
- Platform integrity concerns
14. Verification and Badge Effects
Account ownership changes may affect verification badges, authenticity labels, creator verification, business verification, partner status, monetisation eligibility, or official account status.
Playflick may remove, pause, or re-review badges after ownership changes.
15. Monetisation and Payout Effects
Ownership changes may affect monetisation, payout eligibility, wallet balances, creator earnings, marketplace sales, memberships, subscriptions, ad revenue share, tax records, and payment information.
Playflick may require updated:
- Identity information
- Business information
- Tax information
- Payout information
- Payment method information
- Revenue share agreements where applicable
- Fraud and risk review
16. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Entitlements
Purchases, rentals, subscriptions, memberships, tickets, digital goods, wallet credits, saved items, and other account entitlements may not be transferable between accounts.
Playflick may refuse to transfer paid entitlements where transfer would create fraud, privacy, tax, payment, licensing, legal, or rights concerns.
17. Private Messages and Privacy
Account transfers may expose private messages, personal data, saved items, watch history, search history, payment records, and account settings.
Playflick may refuse account transfers that would create unacceptable privacy risks, especially where an account was originally personal rather than business-controlled.
18. Security Review
Playflick may conduct security review before account merge, transfer, or ownership change.
Security review may consider:
- Recent login activity
- Account recovery attempts
- Device changes
- Password or 2FA changes
- Suspicious IP or location signals
- Payment or payout changes
- Reports of account compromise
- Fraud or impersonation concerns
19. Ownership Disputes
Ownership disputes may arise between creators, collaborators, businesses, teams, managers, agencies, former employees, family members, partners, or representatives.
Playflick may review ownership disputes where appropriate, but Playflick may not resolve every private contract, employment, partnership, family, estate, agency, or business dispute.
Playflick may require legal documents, court orders, written authorisation, or other evidence before changing account ownership.
20. Fraud and Abuse Prevention
Users must not abuse merge, transfer, or ownership-change processes.
Prohibited conduct may include:
- Submitting fake ownership evidence
- Trying to take over another user’s account
- Buying or selling accounts without permission
- Using transfer requests to bypass suspensions
- Using transfer requests to evade payment or tax rules
- Impersonating a business owner or legal representative
- Trying to redirect payouts without authority
- Using forged documents or fake emails

Playflick may refuse, pause, reverse, or restrict an account merge, transfer, or ownership change where appropriate.
Reasons may include:

- Privacy concerns
- Payment or tax concerns
- Rights or trademark concerns
- Account security concerns
