It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Online Safety Policy, Child Safety Policy, Report Content & Abuse Policy, and Account Deletion & Data Removal Policy.

2. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to requests from:

  • Law enforcement agencies
  • Courts
  • Regulators
  • Government authorities
  • Child-protection bodies
  • Public safety bodies
  • Other authorised public authorities

Requests from private individuals, companies, copyright owners, or civil claimants may be handled under other Playflick policies unless supported by appropriate legal process.


3. How to Submit a Request

Official requests should be sent to:

Email: hello@playflick.com

Requests should include:

  • The name of the requesting authority
  • The full name, title, badge number, reference number, or official identifier of the requesting officer or official
  • An official government, agency, court, or regulator email address
  • The legal basis for the request
  • A copy of the warrant, court order, subpoena, production order, preservation request, emergency request, or other legal document where applicable
  • The Playflick username, channel name, account email, content URL, video URL, IP address, or other identifiers relevant to the request
  • The specific information requested
  • The time period covered by the request
  • Whether the request is urgent or connected to imminent harm
  • Contact details for follow-up questions

Incomplete requests may be delayed or rejected.


4. Legal Process Requirement

Playflick generally requires valid legal process before disclosing user data, account information, content records, payment information, private communications, logs, or other non-public information.

Depending on the type of information requested, valid legal process may include:

  • A court order
  • A warrant
  • A subpoena or equivalent legal request
  • A production order
  • A preservation request
  • A regulator notice
  • A lawful emergency disclosure request
  • Another legally recognised authority or request

Playflick may reject, narrow, challenge, or ask for clarification where a request is vague, excessive, invalid, informal, unlawful, outside jurisdiction, or insufficiently specific.


5. Emergency Requests

Playflick may review emergency requests where there is a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent death, serious physical harm, child exploitation, terrorism, violent attack, or another imminent and serious threat.

Emergency requests should clearly state:

  • That the request is an emergency
  • The nature of the imminent risk
  • The person or people at risk, if known
  • The specific information needed
  • Why the information is needed immediately
  • The requesting authority’s official contact details

Playflick may disclose limited information where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary and lawful to address an emergency.

Playflick is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, contact emergency services or local law enforcement directly. In the United Kingdom, call 999.


6. Preservation Requests

Authorities may request that Playflick preserve certain account, content, or log information while formal legal process is obtained.

Preservation requests should include:

  • The relevant account, username, channel, email, content URL, or identifier
  • The specific information to be preserved
  • The requested preservation period
  • The legal basis for preservation
  • The investigation reference number
  • The requesting authority’s contact details

Preservation does not necessarily mean disclosure. Disclosure may require separate valid legal process.


7. Types of Information That May Be Available

Depending on what data exists, legal requirements, retention limits, and the scope of the request, Playflick may hold:

  • Account information
  • Username and channel information
  • Email address
  • Profile information
  • Uploaded content and metadata
  • Comments and public activity
  • Login records
  • IP address logs
  • Device or browser information
  • Payment and transaction records
  • Advertising records
  • Creator monetisation records
  • Reports and moderation records
  • Copyright complaint records
  • Account restriction or suspension records
  • Security and abuse-prevention logs

Playflick may not have all requested information. Some data may have been deleted, anonymised, overwritten, never collected, technically unavailable, or retained only for a limited period.


8. User Notification

Playflick may notify users about law enforcement, court, regulator, or government requests where legally permitted and appropriate.

We may delay or withhold notice where:

  • Notice is legally prohibited
  • There is a non-disclosure order
  • Notification may create safety risk
  • Notification may compromise an investigation
  • Notification may risk destruction of evidence
  • The request relates to child safety, terrorism, serious harm, fraud, or security threats
  • Playflick determines notice is inappropriate under the circumstances

9. International Requests

Playflick is based in the United Kingdom.

Requests from authorities outside the United Kingdom may require appropriate international legal process, mutual legal assistance procedures, treaty-based requests, court orders, or other recognised legal mechanisms.

Playflick may respond directly to foreign requests where legally permitted, necessary, and appropriate, particularly in emergencies involving imminent harm, child safety, terrorism, or serious threats.


10. Child Safety and Serious Harm

Playflick may take urgent action where requests relate to child sexual abuse material, child exploitation, grooming, serious violence, terrorism, suicide risk, or imminent harm.

Action may include:

  • Removing or restricting content
  • Suspending or terminating accounts
  • Preserving evidence
  • Reporting to relevant authorities or child-protection organisations
  • Disclosing limited information where lawful and necessary

11. Content Removal Requests From Authorities

Authorities may request removal or restriction of content that is illegal or harmful.

Requests should identify:

  • The specific content URL
  • The legal basis for removal or restriction
  • The jurisdiction involved
  • The reason the content is unlawful or harmful
  • Any order, notice, or decision supporting the request
  • Whether urgent action is requested

Playflick may remove, restrict, age-limit, preserve, or review content according to our policies and legal obligations.


12. Confidentiality and Security

Playflick handles legal requests and related disclosures carefully.

We may use reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of information shared with authorities.

Authorities should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive data and should use secure communication methods where possible.


13. Fees and Costs

Where permitted by law, Playflick may seek reimbursement for reasonable costs associated with responding to legal process, especially where requests are broad, complex, technical, repetitive, or require significant resources.

Playflick may waive fees in emergencies, child-safety matters, or other urgent public-safety situations.


14. Challenging or Narrowing Requests

Playflick may challenge, narrow, reject, or request clarification for legal requests that appear:

  • Overbroad
  • Vague
  • Invalid
  • Informal
  • Unlawful
  • Disproportionate
  • Outside jurisdiction
  • Not supported by proper legal authority
  • Seeking information not held by Playflick
  • Inconsistent with user rights, privacy, or applicable law

15. Data Retention Limits

Playflick retains data according to our Privacy Policy, Account Deletion & Data Removal Policy, legal obligations, operational needs, safety requirements, and technical systems.

We may not be able to provide information that has been deleted, anonymised, overwritten, expired, never collected, or is technically unavailable.


16. Requests From Private Parties

Private parties, civil litigants, rights holders, businesses, or individuals should not use this policy as a substitute for appropriate legal process.

Copyright complaints should be submitted under our Copyright & Takedown Policy.

Privacy, safety, harassment, impersonation, or abuse reports should be submitted under our Report Content & Abuse Policy.


17. No Legal Advice

This policy does not provide legal advice and does not create rights for third parties.

Authorities, users, and third parties should seek independent legal advice where needed.


18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Law Enforcement Request Policy from time to time.

Changes may reflect legal requirements, platform features, safety procedures, privacy practices, data-retention rules, operational needs, or authority request processes.
