Creator Verification Policy

Effective Date: 2026

Last Updated: 2026

This Creator Verification Policy explains how Playflick™ Media .ltd may review, approve, reject, remove, or limit verification badges, verified creator status, business verification, identity checks, and related trust features on Playflick.com.

Playflick is a video discovery and creator platform for independent entertainment, short films, trailers, creators, and community videos. Verification may help users identify authentic creators, brands, businesses, organisations, public figures, or official channels, but verification does not mean Playflick endorses the creator or guarantees the accuracy of their content.

This policy should be read together with our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, Content Policy, Creator Code of Conduct, Impersonation Policy, Trademark Policy, Copyright & Takedown Policy, Creator Monetisation Terms, Advertising Policy, Paid Content Terms, and Privacy Policy.

2. What Verification Means

Verification may indicate that Playflick has reviewed certain information connected to an account, creator, business, organisation, or public identity.

Verification may help confirm that:

An account belongs to the person, creator, brand, business, or organisation it claims to represent
An account has completed certain identity, account, or business checks
A creator or business has met certain eligibility requirements
An account is less likely to be an impersonation account

Verification does not mean that Playflick endorses, sponsors, guarantees, recommends, or accepts responsibility for the account, creator, business, content, products, services, claims, or opinions.

3. Verification Is Not Guaranteed

Verification is not automatic and is not guaranteed.

Playflick may approve, reject, delay, remove, or limit verification at our discretion, subject to applicable law and platform policies.

Playflick is not required to verify every eligible user, public figure, creator, brand, business, or organisation.

4. Types of Verification

Playflick may offer different types of verification depending on platform features and eligibility.

Verification may include:

Creator verification: for creators, channels, filmmakers, entertainers, artists, or public-facing accounts.
Business verification: for companies, brands, studios, organisations, advertisers, or commercial accounts.
Identity verification: for confirming that an account holder is a real person or authorised representative.
Monetisation verification: for creators seeking paid content, subscriptions, payouts, or creator earnings.
Advertiser verification: for users or businesses using advertising tools.
Rights-holder verification: for copyright, trademark, or brand owners submitting rights-related notices.

Available verification types may change over time.

5. Eligibility Requirements

Playflick may consider different factors when reviewing verification requests.

Eligibility may depend on:

Account authenticity
Account activity
Account completeness
Profile image, channel name, and public identity
Original content uploads
Compliance with Playflick policies
No serious recent safety violations
No serious recent copyright or trademark violations
No impersonation or misleading identity concerns
No fraud, spam, fake engagement, or payment abuse
Evidence that the account represents a real creator, business, brand, public figure, organisation, or official channel
Identity, business, payment, tax, or rights-holder checks where required

Meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee verification.

6. Information We May Request

To review a verification request, Playflick may request information such as:

Full legal name
Creator name or stage name
Business or organisation name
Account email address
Username or channel name
Official website or social media links

Additional information needed to prevent fraud, impersonation, or abuse

Do not send unnecessary sensitive information unless Playflick requests it. If verification requires sensitive documents, Playflick may provide further instructions.

7. How to Request Verification

If creator or business verification is available, users may request verification through account settings, creator tools, admin tools, or by contacting Playflick.

Review identity, business, or rights-holder evidence

9. Reasons Verification May Be Rejected

Playflick may reject verification for reasons including:

Insufficient information
Unable to verify identity or authority
Incomplete account profile
Misleading account information
Impersonation concerns
Trademark or brand confusion
Recent or serious policy violations
Copyright or repeat infringement concerns
Fake engagement or artificial growth
Fraud, scams, or payment abuse
Unsafe or harmful content
False, forged, or inconsistent documents
The account is not sufficiently active or public-facing
Verification is not currently available for the requested account type

10. Removal of Verification

Playflick may remove verification at any time.

Verification may be removed if:

The account changes ownership
The account changes its name, identity, purpose, or branding in a misleading way
The account becomes inactive
The account violates Playflick policies
The account is involved in scams, fraud, spam, fake engagement, or payment abuse
The account impersonates another person, creator, brand, business, or organisation
The account loses authority to represent a creator, brand, business, or organisation
The account provides false, forged, misleading, or outdated verification information
The account creates legal, safety, rights, payment, or reputational risk

11. Verified Accounts Must Follow All Rules

Verified accounts must follow all Playflick policies.

Verification does not protect an account from:

Content removal
Copyright takedowns
Trademark complaints
Age restrictions
Demonetisation
Advertising rejection
Paid content restrictions
Livestream restrictions
Account suspension
Account termination
Payment holds or reversals

12. Verification and Monetisation

Verification and monetisation are separate unless Playflick states otherwise.

A verified account is not automatically eligible for creator monetisation, paid content, subscriptions, advertising revenue, creator payouts, or business tools.

Monetisation may require separate eligibility checks, payment verification, tax information, rights review, fraud checks, and compliance with Creator Monetisation Terms.

13. Verification and Advertising

Advertiser verification may be required for certain ad tools, business accounts, promoted content, or commercial campaigns.

Verified advertiser status does not guarantee that every ad will be approved.

Ads must still follow the Advertising Policy, Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and applicable law.

14. Verification and Impersonation Protection

Verification may help reduce impersonation, but it does not guarantee that impersonation will never occur.

Users should report fake accounts, misleading profiles, brand impersonation, or false affiliation concerns under the Impersonation Policy, Trademark Policy, or Report Content & Abuse Policy.

15. Misuse of Verification

Users must not misuse verification or claim verified status in a misleading way.

Prohibited behaviour includes:

Using fake verification badges
Claiming verification when not verified
Creating profile images or names that imitate verification
Selling, renting, transferring, or trading verified accounts without permission
Using verification to scam, mislead, or intimidate users
Claiming Playflick endorsement because an account is verified

16. Appeals

If verification is rejected or removed and you believe Playflick made a mistake, you may request a review.

Send appeals to:

Email: hello@playflick.com

Please include:

Your account email
Your username or channel name
The verification decision you are appealing
Why you believe the decision was incorrect
Any supporting identity, business, rights-holder, or authorisation evidence

Playflick may accept, reject, or partially uphold appeals at our discretion.

17. Privacy and Verification Data

Playflick may process verification information to confirm identity, business status, authority, rights ownership, payment eligibility, fraud risk, policy compliance, and account authenticity.

Verification data may be retained where needed for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, payment records, creator monetisation, rights-holder disputes, appeals, or enforcement.

More information is available in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this Creator Verification Policy from time to time.

Changes may reflect new verification tools, identity checks, creator features, monetisation systems, business requirements, safety risks, legal obligations, or platform policies.
