2. Purpose of This Policy

3. Feature Availability
Password change tools, email change tools, phone number change tools, verification prompts, security holds, rollback tools, account recovery tools, and related account security features may not be available to every user, country, device, browser, app version, account type, or platform surface.
Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue password, email, phone, and account contact update features at any time.
4. Password Changes
Users may be able to change their password through account settings, password reset tools, account recovery tools, or security prompts where available.

5. Strong Password Practices
Users are responsible for choosing and protecting strong passwords.
Users should avoid:

- Sending passwords through messages or email
- Entering passwords on suspicious websites
Playflick may reject weak, compromised, reused, or unsafe passwords where security tools are available.

Email changes may require:
- Access to the current email address
- Verification of the new email address
- Password confirmation
- Two-factor authentication
- Security review
- Waiting periods where appropriate

Phone number changes may require:

- Verification of the old phone number where available
- Password confirmation
- Two-factor authentication

8. Contact Information Must Be Accurate
Users are responsible for keeping account contact information accurate and up to date.

Security holds may delay:
- Password resets
- Email changes
- Phone number changes
- Two-factor authentication changes
- Payment method changes
- Payout method changes
- Account deletion requests
- Ownership transfer requests
Security holds may help reduce account takeover, payout fraud, payment abuse, impersonation, and unauthorised ownership changes.

Playflick may block, delay, review, or reverse password, email, or phone changes if suspicious activity is detected.
Suspicious activity may include:
- New device or unusual location
- Repeated failed login attempts
- Recent account recovery activity
- Recent password reset attempts
- Payment or payout changes after login
- Multiple contact detail changes in a short period

Notices may be sent to:
- The old email address
- The new email address
- The verified phone number where available
- In-app notifications
- Push notifications where enabled
- Account security centres where available
Some notices may be sent even if optional marketing or recommendation notifications are disabled.
13. Session Reset After Changes
Password, email, phone, or security setting changes may cause Playflick to sign out some or all active sessions.
Session reset may affect:
- Browsers
- Mobile apps
- Smart TVs
- Connected devices
- API sessions where applicable
- Trusted devices
- Remembered devices
Some sessions may remain active briefly because of technical delay, offline status, cached access, or connected-device design.

Playflick may require:
- Access to backup recovery methods
- Two-factor authentication
- Identity verification where required
- Business authority proof where relevant
- Security review
- Waiting periods where appropriate
- Additional information showing account ownership
Playflick may refuse recovery where account ownership cannot be verified.
15. Business, Team, and Organisation Accounts
Business, organisation, studio, brand, or team-managed accounts may require additional review before changing email addresses, phone numbers, owners, admins, billing contacts, payout contacts, or security settings.
Playflick may require confirmation from authorised team members, business verification, domain email verification, or role permission review.
16. Creator and Monetised Accounts
Creator, monetised, marketplace, payout-enabled, or verified accounts may require stronger security checks before password, email, phone, or security setting changes.
Stronger checks may be required because these accounts may involve:
- Creator earnings

- Tax information
- Paid content
- Membership revenue
- Marketplace listings
- Verification badges
- Subscriber or supporter relationships
17. Rollback Requests
If users believe a password, email, or phone change was unauthorised, they should contact Playflick promptly.
Playflick may review rollback requests but does not guarantee that every change can be reversed.
Rollback may be limited by:

- Time passed since the change
- Account recovery records
- Security risks
