2. Purpose of This Policy

Content warnings and viewer advisories help users make informed choices before watching, saving, sharing, purchasing, renting, or recommending content. Advisories may also support parents, guardians, educators, vulnerable viewers, accessibility needs, and users who prefer advance notice about sensitive themes.

This policy explains:

• How content warnings and viewer advisories may be submitted or displayed
• What types of sensitive themes may need advisory labels
• How creators should use warnings responsibly
• How Playflick may add, correct, or remove advisory labels
• How spoilers and viewer advisories should be balanced
• How users may report missing, inaccurate, or misleading warnings

3. Feature Availability

Content warning tools, sensitive theme labels, viewer advisory notices, flashing image warnings, age advisory notices, episode-level advisories, accessibility warnings, parental guidance labels, and related features may not be available to every user, creator, country, account type, content type, device, browser, or app version.

Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue content warning and viewer advisory features at any time.

4. Content Warnings and Viewer Advisories

Content warnings and viewer advisories may describe themes, scenes, imagery, sound, language, or subject matter that some viewers may find sensitive, distressing, unsuitable, or requiring preparation.

Advisories may be displayed on:

• Title pages
• Episode pages
• Trailers or previews
• Playback screens
• Purchase or rental screens
• Event pages
• Search or recommendation surfaces
• Parental control or account settings where available

5. Sensitive Themes

Sensitive themes may vary by audience, culture, age, context, and personal experience.

Sensitive themes may include:

• Violence
• Self-harm or suicide themes
• Sexual violence themes
• Drug or alcohol misuse
• Eating disorder themes
• Abuse, coercion, or domestic violence
• Bereavement or grief
• Discrimination or hate themes
• Medical trauma
• Animal harm
• War, terrorism, or disaster themes

6. Flashing Images and Photosensitivity

Content containing flashing lights, rapid patterns, strobe effects, intense flicker, visual pulses, or high-contrast animation may require a viewer advisory where appropriate.

Creators should consider warning users about content that may affect viewers with photosensitive epilepsy, migraine sensitivity, vestibular sensitivity, or similar conditions.

Playflick may add, correct, or require flashing image warnings where appropriate.

7. Audio and Sound Advisories

Some content may include sudden loud sounds, high-frequency audio, distressing sound design, screaming, explosions, sirens, or other intense audio elements.

Creators may provide audio advisories where features are available and where the audio experience may be unexpectedly intense or distressing.

8. Mature Themes

Mature themes may require advisories even where the content is not prohibited.

Mature themes may include:

• Strong language
• Sexual references
• Nudity or sexual content
• Graphic injury detail
• Drug use
• Disturbing psychological themes
• Criminal behaviour
• Intense horror or fear

Mature theme advisories do not replace age ratings or legal classification requirements.

9. Creator Responsibility

Creators are responsible for providing accurate, proportionate, and non-misleading advisory information where Playflick tools request or allow it.

Creators should not:

• Hide sensitive themes to gain wider reach
• Add false warnings to manipulate engagement
• Use warnings as clickbait
• Use warnings to harass or shame people
• Use warnings to reveal unnecessary spoilers
• Mislabel content to evade age restrictions
• Ignore platform requests for advisory information

10. Platform-Added Advisories

Playflick may add, correct, remove, or adjust viewer advisories based on platform review, user reports, automated systems, trusted flagger reports, creator information, rights holder information, or legal requirements.

Platform-added advisories may not always match creator-provided labels.

Playflick may not provide detailed explanations for every advisory change.

11. Advisory Labels Are Not Exhaustive

Content warnings and viewer advisories may not identify every sensitive theme, scene, image, sound, or possible viewer concern.

Playflick does not guarantee that all content will include complete, accurate, or personalised warnings for every viewer.

Users should use their own judgement and review available ratings, descriptions, comments, parental controls, and trusted sources where appropriate.

12. Spoilers and Warnings

Some warnings may reveal plot details, character outcomes, episode events, or other spoilers.

Creators and Playflick may try to balance spoiler avoidance with viewer safety, accessibility, parental guidance, and informed choice.

Users should understand that advisory labels may sometimes reveal sensitive plot information where necessary to warn viewers.

13. Episode-Level and Scene-Level Advisories

Series, seasons, and episodes may have different sensitive themes.

Playflick may support episode-level or scene-level advisories where available.

Episode-level advisories may help users understand that one episode contains material not present throughout the entire series.

14. Trailers, Teasers, and Previews

Trailers, teasers, clips, and previews may include sensitive imagery, flashing lights, loud sounds, spoilers, or mature themes.

Promotional videos should not hide important advisory information where the promotional material itself may be sensitive or unsuitable for certain viewers.

More information is available in our Trailer, Teaser & Promotional Video Policy.

15. Paid Content and Viewer Advisories

Paid content, rentals, purchases, subscriptions, memberships, ticketed events, and premium access should not be promoted using misleading advisory information.

Users should be able to review available advisory information before purchasing or accessing paid content where features are available.

Advisory information does not guarantee refund eligibility.

16. Events, Screenings, and Livestreams

Events, screenings, livestreams, premieres, and watch parties may include live, unscripted, user-generated, or unpredictable content.

Viewer advisories for live or event content may be incomplete, delayed, approximate, or unavailable.

Event organisers and creators should provide reasonable advisory information where they know sensitive material may appear.

17. Child Safety

Content warnings must not be used to hide, excuse, or promote content that exploits, sexualises, identifies, harasses, grooms, or endangers children or young users.

Users must not use advisory labels to make prohibited child-safety content appear acceptable.

Serious child-safety concerns may result in immediate account action and reporting where appropriate or required.

18. Accessibility and Viewer Choice

Viewer advisories may support accessibility and viewer choice.

Advisory tools may help users manage:

• Photosensitivity risks
• Sound sensitivity
• Trauma-related concerns
• Parental guidance decisions
• Content filtering preferences
• Language and regional preferences

Accessibility-related advisories may vary by content, device, creator input, and platform tools.

19. User Settings and Parental Controls

Users may be able to manage content preferences, parental controls, age restrictions, sensitive content settings, autoplay settings, or recommendation controls where features are available.

Viewer advisories do not replace parental or guardian supervision where appropriate.

More information is available in our Parental & Guardian Guide and Age Restriction Policy.

20. Misuse of Advisory Labels

Users must not misuse content warnings, sensitive theme labels, viewer advisories, accessibility notices, or safety labels.

Prohibited misuse may include:

• Adding fake warnings for attention
• Removing warnings to evade restrictions
• Using warnings as harassment
• Using warnings to reveal targeted spoilers maliciously
• Using advisory fields for spam or keyword stuffing
• Using advisory labels to hide prohibited content
• Misrepresenting content suitability for children
