2. Purpose of This Policy

Playflick content and data may include protected works, personal data, creator materials, user-generated content, confidential data, rights-restricted media, copyrighted material, profile information, comments, ratings, reviews, subtitles, captions, images, audio, video, and platform metadata.

This policy explains:

When data mining, AI training, and model use are prohibited
What Playflick data and content may not be collected for AI systems
How API access differs from permission to train AI models
What rules apply to datasets, model training, and synthetic media
How privacy, copyright, child safety, and rights concerns apply
How Playflick may restrict, block, or enforce against unauthorised AI data use

3. Feature Availability

AI data permissions, research access, dataset licences, developer data approvals, machine learning integrations, model-use permissions, data export tools, and related features may not be available to every user, creator, business, developer, partner, country, plan, or integration.

Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue AI data, research, dataset, or model-use features at any time.

4. No General Permission for AI Training

Access to Playflick, public pages, APIs, embeds, feeds, metadata, content, user submissions, or downloadable materials does not grant permission to use those materials for AI training, machine learning, model development, dataset creation, benchmarking, evaluation, or similar purposes.

Users, developers, researchers, businesses, and third parties must obtain express permission from Playflick and any required rights holders before using Playflick data or content for AI or machine learning purposes.

5. Prohibited Data Mining

Users must not mine, scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, extract, bulk download, mirror, index, or collect Playflick data or content for AI, machine learning, model training, dataset building, profiling, or automated analysis without permission.

Prohibited data mining may involve:

7. Datasets

Users must not create, sell, license, publish, share, transfer, or distribute datasets containing Playflick data, user data, content, metadata, media, comments, reviews, subtitles, captions, images, audio, video, or scraped platform information without permission.

This restriction applies even if the dataset is:

Non-commercial
Academic
Research-focused
Open source
Partially anonymised
Derived from public pages
Collected through automated tools
Combined with third-party data

8. Public Availability Does Not Mean Free Use

Some Playflick pages, metadata, profiles, images, comments, or content may be visible publicly.

Public visibility does not mean that users may scrape, copy, mine, train on, republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit the data or content.

Rights, privacy, contract, platform rules, copyright, database rights, publicity rights, and other restrictions may still apply.

9. API Access Does Not Grant AI Training Rights

API access, developer approval, webhook access, embed access, widget access, export access, or partner access does not automatically grant permission to train, evaluate, build, or improve AI models using Playflick data.

Developers must follow the API Data Use, Caching & Attribution Policy and must obtain additional written permission before using Playflick data for AI or machine learning purposes.

10. User Data and Personal Data

Users must not use Playflick personal data for AI systems without lawful basis, proper permission, clear transparency, appropriate safeguards, and compliance with privacy law.

Personal data may include:

11. Biometric and Identity Systems

Users must not use Playflick images, videos, audio, profile data, actor pages, creator pages, public figure pages, or user content to build, train, evaluate, or operate facial recognition, voice recognition, identity matching, biometric analysis, emotion recognition, age estimation, or similar systems without permission and lawful basis.

Playflick may treat unauthorised biometric data use as a serious violation.

12. Voice, Likeness, and Publicity Rights

Playflick content may include voices, faces, performances, names, likenesses, images, stage names, character portrayals, and other rights-protected material.

Users must not use Playflick content to clone voices, reproduce likenesses, generate synthetic performances, imitate actors or creators, or create deceptive synthetic media without appropriate permission from all required parties.

13. Copyrighted and Licensed Content

Playflick content may be protected by copyright, neighbouring rights, database rights, contract rights, music rights, performance rights, moral rights, and licensing restrictions.

Users must not use copyrighted or licensed Playflick content for AI training, model development, dataset creation, or commercial AI systems unless they have all required rights.

14. Subtitles, Captions, and Transcripts

Subtitles, captions, transcripts, translations, audio descriptions, metadata, and text associated with content may be protected by copyright, contract, privacy, accessibility, or licensing restrictions.

Users must not scrape or use subtitles, captions, transcripts, or translations for AI training or dataset creation without permission.

15. Comments, Reviews, and Community Content

Comments, reviews, ratings, community posts, messages, profile bios, usernames, fan discussions, and other user-generated content must not be collected, analysed, mined, profiled, or used for AI training without permission and lawful basis.

Users must not build systems that profile, rank, target, harass, or infer sensitive information about Playflick users based on their community activity.

16. Synthetic Media and Deepfakes

Users must not use Playflick data or content to create deceptive synthetic media, deepfakes, voice clones, fake trailers, fake interviews, fake actor appearances, fake endorsements, fake reviews, or impersonation content without appropriate permission.
