2. Purpose of This Policy

Usernames, handles, display names, channel names, and profile URLs help users identify accounts, creators, businesses, films, brands, and communities on Playflick.

This policy explains:

How usernames and handles may be chosen
What types of names are prohibited
How name changes may work
How Playflick may handle reserved or inactive names
How impersonation and trademark disputes may be reviewed
Why a username or profile URL may be removed, changed, or restricted

3. Username and Handle Availability

Username, handle, channel name, profile URL, and custom URL features may not be available to every account, country, creator, business, or profile type.

Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, rename, or discontinue username and profile URL features at any time.

4. No Guaranteed Right to a Name

Creating or using a username, handle, display name, channel name, or profile URL does not give you ownership of that name.

Playflick may remove, change, restrict, reserve, reclaim, or refuse names where appropriate under this policy, other Playflick policies, legal requirements, rights complaints, safety concerns, or platform integrity needs.

5. Choosing a Username or Handle

Users should choose usernames, handles, display names, and profile URLs that are accurate, appropriate, and not misleading.

Names should not:

Impersonate another person, creator, business, brand, studio, or organisation
Mislead users about identity or official status
Use another person’s trademark without permission where this causes confusion
Contain hate, harassment, threats, or abuse
Contain sexual content involving minors
Promote scams, phishing, malware, or illegal activity
Falsely suggest Playflick verification, approval, or partnership

6. Display Names

A display name may be different from a username, handle, or profile URL where features are available.

Display names must still follow Playflick policies.

Playflick may limit, remove, or change display names that are misleading, abusive, infringing, impersonating, unsafe, or otherwise policy-violating.

7. Handles and Profile URLs

A handle or profile URL may be used to identify or link to an account, channel, creator, business, profile, or organisation.

Handles and profile URLs may be subject to:

Availability rules
Character limits
Format requirements
Reserved-name rules
Eligibility requirements
Change limits
Verification or business checks where relevant
Impersonation and trademark review

8. Reserved Names

Playflick may reserve certain usernames, handles, display names, channel names, or profile URLs.

Reserved names may include:

Playflick names and trademarks
Official platform names
Support, safety, legal, admin, or system-related names
Names of public figures or high-risk entities
Names of major brands, studios, or organisations
Names needed for security, fraud prevention, or platform operation
Names restricted by law, rights complaints, or safety concerns

9. Official-Sounding Names

Users must not use usernames, handles, display names, or profile URLs that falsely suggest official status.

Prohibited or restricted names may include names suggesting:

Playflick staff status
Playflick support status
Playflick verification authority
Government authority
Law enforcement authority
Brand ownership or representation without permission
Studio, celebrity, creator, or organisation representation without permission

10. Impersonation

Users must not use names, handles, profile URLs, images, descriptions, badges, or profile details to impersonate another person, creator, business, brand, studio, organisation, or Playflick.

Impersonation may include:

Using another creator’s name to confuse viewers
Using a brand name to appear official
Using a celebrity name to mislead users
Using a similar handle with deceptive spelling
Using fake verification claims
Combining a misleading name with copied profile images or bios

More information is available in our Impersonation Policy.

11. Trademark and Rights Issues

Username, handle, channel name, business name, or profile URL disputes may involve trademark, trade name, copyright, passing off, publicity rights, or other legal rights.

Playflick may review rights complaints under the relevant policies.

Playflick may remove, transfer, restrict, or change a name where appropriate, but Playflick does not act as a court and may not resolve complex private rights disputes.

12. Offensive or Harmful Names

Usernames, handles, display names, and profile URLs must not contain or promote harmful content.

Prohibited names may include:

Hate speech
Threats
Targeted harassment
Sexual exploitation
Child exploitation
Self-harm encouragement
Terrorist or violent extremist promotion
Scams, phishing, malware, or fraud
Doxxing or private personal information

13. Misleading Commercial Names

Business, advertiser, creator, seller, marketplace, or storefront names must not mislead users about commercial identity, sponsorship, ownership, rights, product source, or official status.

Users must not use names that falsely suggest:

Official brand ownership
Official film or studio status
Official Playflick partnership
Verified seller status
Government approval
Professional credentials not held
Rights to sell or distribute content not owned

14. Name Changes

Playflick may allow users to change usernames, display names, handles, channel names, or profile URLs where features are available.

Name changes may be subject to:

Availability
Change frequency limits
Review or approval
Verification status
Business verification
Risk checks
Temporary holding periods
Restrictions after enforcement action

Changing a name may affect recognition, search, links, user confusion, verification, branding, and external references.

15. Previous Names and Redirects

Playflick may or may not support redirects, aliases, previous-name display, or historical username records.

Old profile URLs may stop working, redirect temporarily, redirect permanently, or become unavailable, depending on platform features and security needs.

Playflick may retain records of previous names for safety, security, fraud prevention, moderation, rights disputes, account recovery, and platform integrity.

16. Inactive Handles

Playflick may reclaim, release, restrict, or reassign inactive usernames, handles, or profile URLs where appropriate.

Factors may include:

How long the account has been inactive
Whether the account has content or followers
Whether the account has purchases, payments, or payouts
Whether the name is needed for a verified person or business
Whether the name creates impersonation or trademark concerns
Whether the account is suspended, terminated, or deleted
Legal, safety, or platform integrity concerns

Playflick is not required to release inactive names on request.

17. Username Squatting

Username squatting is prohibited.

Username squatting may include:

Registering names mainly to sell them
Registering many names to block others
Registering brand or celebrity names without legitimate use
Demanding payment to release a name
Creating inactive accounts to reserve valuable handles
Using misleading names to redirect users to scams or unrelated content

18. Sale or Transfer of Usernames

Users must not sell, rent, auction, trade, broker, or transfer usernames, handles, profile URLs, or accounts unless Playflick expressly permits it.

Unauthorised sale or transfer may result in name removal, account restriction, suspension, or termination.

19. Verification and Names

Playflick may require a verified creator, business, brand, advertiser, seller, or public figure to use a name that accurately reflects their identity or authorised representation.

Name changes may affect verification status.

Playflick may remove verification or require additional checks where a name change creates confusion, impersonation concerns, rights issues, or risk.

20. Child Safety and Usernames

Usernames, handles, display names, and profile URLs must not be used to exploit, sexualise, identify, target, groom, harass, or endanger children.

Playflick may remove or restrict names that appear to involve child exploitation, unsafe contact, grooming, sexualised minor references, or child-safety risks.
