2. Purpose of This Policy

Some users may have legal rights to request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request transfer of certain data to another service where technically feasible and legally required.

This policy explains:

  • What a data portability request is
  • What data may be included or excluded
  • How identity verification may apply
  • How transfer requests may be limited
  • How third-party service limitations may affect transfer
  • How users may submit a portability request

3. Data Portability Compared With Data Export

Data portability is a privacy rights process and may differ from general account export, creator export, analytics export, billing export, API export, or backup tools.

Data portability requests usually focus on certain personal data that a user provided to Playflick or that may be covered by applicable portability rights.

General backup and export tools are explained in our Data Backup & Export Policy.


4. Eligibility for Portability Requests

Data portability rights may depend on applicable privacy laws, user location, account type, data type, legal basis for processing, identity verification, and technical feasibility.

Playflick may decline, limit, or request clarification for portability requests where:

  • The user is not eligible under applicable law
  • The request cannot be verified
  • The request is excessive, abusive, or repetitive
  • The data is not covered by portability rights
  • The request affects another person’s rights or privacy
  • The data is legally restricted
  • The transfer is not technically feasible

5. Data That May Be Portable

Where required and available, portable data may include certain personal data associated with the user’s account.

Examples may include:

  • Basic account information
  • Profile information
  • Account settings
  • Uploaded content metadata
  • Playlist or watchlist information where available
  • Subscription records where applicable
  • Purchase history where applicable
  • User-provided preferences where available
  • Certain creator account information where applicable

6. Data That May Be Excluded

Some data may be excluded from portability requests.

Excluded or limited data may include:

  • Data that belongs to other users
  • Internal fraud or security signals
  • Moderation notes or investigation records
  • Confidential business information
  • Trade secrets or proprietary platform systems
  • Data retained only for legal compliance
  • Data covered by legal privilege
  • Data that cannot be safely disclosed
  • Deleted or expired data no longer available

7. Privacy of Other Users

Playflick may limit portability responses where providing data would reveal another person’s private data, safety information, report information, account details, payment details, or confidential information.

For example, a portability response may limit or exclude:

  • Private information of message recipients
  • Details of users who reported content
  • Private viewer information
  • Payment information of other users
  • Children’s personal information
  • Confidential safety or fraud records

8. Machine-Readable Formats

Where required and technically feasible, Playflick may provide portable data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Formats may include:

  • JSON
  • CSV
  • XML
  • ZIP archive
  • Other suitable formats where available

Playflick does not guarantee that every data type will be provided in the user’s preferred format.


9. Transfer to Another Service

Where required by applicable law and technically feasible, a user may request that certain portable data be transferred to another service provider.

Transfer requests may depend on:

  • Identity verification
  • Technical compatibility
  • Security requirements
  • The receiving provider’s capabilities
  • Legal requirements
  • Data category
  • API availability
  • Reasonable technical feasibility

Playflick may provide the data directly to the user instead of transferring it directly to another provider where direct transfer is not technically feasible or legally required.


10. Receiving Provider Responsibility

If data is transferred to another service, that receiving provider is responsible for how it handles, secures, processes, stores, deletes, or uses the data after receiving it.

Users should review the receiving provider’s terms, privacy policy, security practices, and import limitations before requesting a transfer.


11. Identity Verification

Playflick may require identity verification before responding to a data portability or transfer request.

Verification may be required to protect:

  • Personal data
  • Account security
  • Creator records
  • Billing records
  • Business account information
  • Private communications
  • Children’s information
  • Other users’ privacy

Playflick may refuse or limit a request if identity or authority cannot be verified.


12. Authorised Agents and Representatives

Where permitted by law, a user may appoint an authorised agent or representative to submit a portability request.

Playflick may require proof that the agent is authorised to act for the user.

For business, organisation, studio, agency, or team-managed accounts, Playflick may require evidence that the requester has authority to make the request on behalf of the organisation.


13. Children and Young Users

Portability requests involving children or young users may require additional checks.

Playflick may need to verify:

  • The identity of the requester
  • The relationship between the requester and the child
  • Whether parent or guardian authority is valid
  • Whether disclosure could create safety or privacy risks
  • Whether applicable law permits or requires the request

Playflick may refuse, delay, or limit requests where child safety or privacy concerns exist.


14. Business, Creator, and Organisation Accounts

Portability requests involving business accounts, creator accounts, advertiser accounts, organisation accounts, or team-managed accounts may require additional review.

Playflick may limit portability where data includes:

  • Business confidential information
  • Team member data
  • Advertiser campaign data
  • Creator analytics involving other users
  • Payment or payout records
  • Fraud or risk records
  • Third-party rights information

15. Data Portability and Deleted Accounts

If an account has been deleted, some data may no longer be available for portability.

Playflick may still retain certain records where required or permitted for:

  • Legal compliance
  • Tax and accounting
  • Payment disputes
  • Fraud prevention
  • Security
  • Moderation
  • Rights disputes
  • Platform integrity

Retained records may not always be portable.


16. Data Portability and Restricted Accounts

Account restrictions, suspensions, terminations, legal holds, fraud reviews, security investigations, or payment disputes may affect portability requests.

Playflick may delay, limit, or refuse portability where providing data could interfere with safety, fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, rights protection, or platform integrity.


17. Timeframes

Playflick aims to respond to valid portability requests within timeframes required by applicable law.

Response times may depend on:

  • Identity verification
  • Request complexity
  • Data volume
  • Technical availability
  • Legal requirements
  • Third-party provider involvement
  • Whether clarification is needed

Playflick may extend response times where permitted by law.


18. Fees

Playflick does not usually charge a fee for standard valid portability requests where applicable law requires them.

However, Playflick may refuse or charge a reasonable fee where permitted by law for requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, repetitive, abusive, or technically unreasonable.


19. Security of Portable Data

Portable data files may contain sensitive information.

Users should protect downloaded data by:

  • Using trusted devices
  • Storing files securely
  • Deleting files when no longer needed
  • Not sharing exports with unauthorised people
  • Checking receiving providers carefully before transfer
  • Avoiding public computers or insecure networks

Playflick is not responsible for misuse of portable data after it has been securely provided to an authorised requester, except where required by law.


20. Limits on Repeated Requests

Playflick may limit repeated, abusive, excessive, or overlapping portability requests where permitted by law.

Users should make requests clearly and provide enough detail to help Playflick identify the data requested.
