2. Purpose of This Policy

This policy explains:

How viewing limits and break reminders may work
How child profile viewing limits may be managed
How autoplay and continuous playback may affect screen time
What limits apply to wellness and reminder tools
How users may report problems with viewing-limit features
What misuse of viewing controls is prohibited

3. Feature Availability

Screen time controls, viewing limits, break reminders, bedtime reminders, session reminders, autoplay limits, child viewing timers, household viewing settings, wellness prompts, and related features may not be available to every user, country, account type, subscription plan, profile type, device, browser, or app version.

Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue screen time, viewing limit, or break reminder features at any time.

4. Screen Time Tools

Playflick may provide tools that help users understand or manage viewing activity where features are available.

Screen time tools may include:

Viewing time reminders
Break reminders
Autoplay limits
Session length notices
Child profile viewing limits
Household viewing controls
Parental viewing settings
Viewing history summaries where available

5. Viewing Limits

Viewing limits may allow users, parents, guardians, or account holders to set limits on how long content can be watched within a selected period where tools are available.

Viewing limits may apply to:

Specific profiles
Child profiles
Household devices
Autoplay sessions
Daily viewing time
Specific time windows
Specific content categories where available

6. Break Reminders

Break reminders may encourage users to pause after a certain amount of viewing time.

Break reminders may appear:

During playback
After an episode ends
Before autoplay continues
On child profiles
On mobile devices
On smart TVs or connected devices where supported
After long viewing sessions

Break reminders may be dismissed, delayed, unavailable, or device-specific depending on features.

7. Bedtime or Quiet Time Reminders

Playflick may provide bedtime, quiet time, or scheduled reminder tools where available.

These tools may help users or parents set reminders around:

Bedtime
School nights
Work hours
Family time
Study time
Quiet hours
Device-free periods

These reminders are informational and may not fully block access unless paired with stronger controls where available.

8. Child Profile Viewing Limits

Child profiles may include viewing limits or session reminders where available.

Parents or guardians may be able to:

Set daily viewing limits
Set bedtime reminders
Limit autoplay
Restrict mature content
Review child profile activity
Use parental PINs to manage changes
Apply age-based access settings

Child viewing controls may vary by country, device, app version, account type, and legal requirements.

9. Autoplay and Continuous Playback

Autoplay may increase viewing time by automatically starting another episode, video, trailer, or preview.

Users may be able to manage autoplay settings where available.

Playflick may show prompts, pauses, countdowns, or reminders before continuous playback continues.

10. Livestreams, Events, and Watch Parties

Livestreams, watch parties, premieres, screenings, and events may not follow ordinary viewing-limit behaviour because they may be live, scheduled, ticketed, or time-sensitive.

Break reminders and viewing limits may be unavailable, delayed, or limited during live or event-based content.

11. Multiple Devices

Viewing limits may not always sync immediately across devices.

Limits may be affected by:

Offline devices
Cached sessions
Shared devices
Different profiles
Multiple browsers
Smart TVs or connected devices
App version differences
Technical delays

12. Shared Accounts and Profiles

Screen time and viewing limits may be less accurate where multiple people use the same profile or account.

Users should use separate profiles where available to help keep viewing activity, recommendations, and viewing limits more organised.

13. Notifications and Reminders

Break reminders, viewing limit notices, and wellness prompts may depend on notification settings, device permissions, playback mode, internet connection, and feature availability.

Playflick does not guarantee that every reminder will appear, be received, or be shown at the exact intended time.

14. Limits of Screen Time Tools

Screen time tools are support features and may not prevent all viewing beyond a chosen limit.

Limits may be affected by:

Device-level settings
Browser settings
Signed-out viewing where available
Profile switching
Shared PINs
Offline playback
Third-party embedded playback
Technical errors

15. Device-Level Controls

Playflick viewing limits may work best when used with device-level or operating-system controls.

Device-level controls may include:

Screen time limits
App timers
Device bedtime schedules
Router controls
Parental control apps
App-store purchase controls
Device passcodes

16. Wellness Disclaimer

Playflick screen time tools, break reminders, and wellbeing prompts are informational and do not provide medical, mental health, parenting, educational, or professional advice.

Users, parents, and guardians should use their own judgement and seek appropriate professional advice where needed.

If someone is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services.

17. User Responsibility

Users are responsible for managing their own viewing behaviour, account settings, device settings, profile settings, and household viewing choices.

Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising children’s media use where appropriate and should not rely only on Playflick tools.

Prohibited conduct may include:

Switching profiles to avoid limits
Creating false age information
Using shared devices to avoid viewing limits
Disabling reminders without permission
Using external links to bypass restrictions
Encouraging children to evade household controls

19. Child Safety

Screen time tools must not be used to hide, enable, excuse, or facilitate child exploitation, grooming, harassment, unsafe contact, or harmful activity involving children or young users.

Users must not use viewing limits or profile controls to conceal child-safety violations.

Serious child-safety concerns may result in immediate account action and reporting where appropriate or required.
