2. Purpose of This Policy

Playflick may use watch history and playback activity to help users resume content, find recently watched videos, improve recommendations, personalise discovery, remember playback position, and operate viewing features.

This policy explains:

  • What watch history may include
  • How continue watching and resume playback may work
  • How users may manage, pause, or clear history where available
  • How watch history may affect recommendations
  • How shared devices and multiple users may affect history
  • How privacy and retention rules may apply

3. Feature Availability

Watch history, continue watching, resume playback, recently watched, playback progress, history controls, clearing tools, pause history tools, and related features may not be available to every user, country, device, browser, app version, content type, or account type.

Playflick may add, remove, restrict, redesign, suspend, or discontinue watch history and continue watching features at any time.


4. What Watch History May Include

Watch history may include records or signals related to content viewed through Playflick.

Watch history may include:

  • Videos watched
  • Films, trailers, episodes, or livestreams watched
  • Playback start time
  • Playback progress
  • Playback position
  • Watch duration
  • Completion status
  • Rewatch activity
  • Device or session information where relevant
  • Content interaction signals where relevant

5. Continue Watching

Continue watching features may help users return to content they started but did not finish.

Continue watching may show:

  • Partly watched videos
  • Partly watched films or episodes
  • Livestream replays where available
  • Paid content still available for access
  • Recently started playlists or series
  • Content with saved playback position

Content may disappear from continue watching because of completion, removal, expiration, access loss, rights changes, clearing history, account settings, or technical limits.


6. Resume Playback

Resume playback may allow users to continue watching from a saved playback position.

Resume playback may depend on:

  • Account login status
  • Device or browser support
  • Playback data availability
  • Content availability
  • Subscription or paid access status
  • Regional or rights restrictions
  • Technical availability
  • History settings

Playback position may not always be exact.


7. Recently Watched

Playflick may provide recently watched lists or viewing activity summaries where available.

Recently watched lists may help users find content they viewed earlier, continue a series, revisit trailers, or manage viewing activity.

Recently watched lists may be limited by privacy settings, history controls, retention periods, device support, or technical availability.


8. How Watch History May Affect Recommendations

Watch history may be used to personalise recommendations, search suggestions, watch-next suggestions, homepage feeds, topic suggestions, creator suggestions, and related discovery features where permitted.

Watch history may influence:

  • Similar content recommendations
  • Series and episode suggestions
  • Genre recommendations
  • Creator recommendations
  • Trailer and film suggestions
  • Continue watching rows
  • Personalised search suggestions
  • Advertising preferences where permitted

9. Clearing Watch History

Users may be able to clear certain watch history records where features are available.

Clearing history may:

  • Remove items from visible watch history
  • Remove items from continue watching where supported
  • Reduce the influence of certain watch activity on future recommendations
  • Reset some playback progress signals
  • Affect personalised suggestions

Clearing visible history may not delete every record that Playflick must retain for legal, security, fraud prevention, payment, moderation, analytics, or platform integrity reasons.


10. Pausing Watch History

Users may be able to pause watch history where features are available.

Pausing watch history may reduce or stop certain future viewing activity from being saved to visible history or used for certain personalisation features.

Pausing watch history may not stop all processing needed for service operation, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, content availability, billing, rights management, safety, moderation, or technical performance.


11. Deleting Individual Items

Users may be able to remove individual items from watch history or continue watching where features are available.

Removing an item may not remove all related recommendation signals immediately, and similar content may still appear for other reasons such as subscriptions, trending content, search activity, or popularity.


12. Shared Devices and Shared Accounts

Watch history may be affected when multiple people use the same device, browser, profile, account, household device, smart TV, or session.

Shared use may cause:

  • Mixed recommendations
  • Unexpected continue watching items
  • Playback position changes
  • Recently watched items from other users
  • Search or discovery suggestions based on shared activity

Users should log out of shared devices or use available profile, privacy, or history controls where appropriate.


13. Children and Young Users

Watch history features for children or young users may work differently to support safety, privacy, parental controls, age-appropriate recommendations, legal requirements, and child protection.

Playflick may limit certain history tools, recommendations, visibility, advertising, or personalisation features for children or young users.


14. Private or Sensitive Viewing

Users should consider privacy when watching content on shared devices or shared accounts.

Watch history, continue watching rows, and recently watched lists may reveal viewing activity to anyone with access to the same account, device, browser, profile, or session.

Users should use available privacy, profile, logout, clearing, or pause-history tools where appropriate.


15. Paid Content and Watch History

Paid content, rentals, downloads, memberships, subscriptions, ticketed events, or digital access passes may appear in watch history or continue watching where available.

Access may end because of:

  • Rental expiration
  • Subscription cancellation
  • Membership cancellation
  • Payment failure
  • Refund or chargeback
  • Content removal
  • Rights changes
  • Account restrictions

Watch history does not guarantee continuing access to paid content after access rights end.


16. Offline Viewing and Downloads

Offline viewing, downloads, or saved content may create local playback records, download records, or access records where features are available.

Removing online watch history may not automatically remove downloaded files, local device records, app cache, or offline access records.

More information is available in our Downloading & Offline Viewing Policy.


17. Technical Issues

Watch history and continue watching features may sometimes be delayed, incomplete, duplicated, inaccurate, unavailable, or inconsistent across devices.

Issues may happen because of:

  • Device switching
  • Offline viewing
  • Browser or app cache
  • Network interruptions
  • Playback errors
  • Account sync delays
  • Cleared cookies or local storage
  • Platform incidents or maintenance

18. Watch History and Analytics

Watch activity may contribute to creator analytics, content performance metrics, recommendation systems, platform analytics, fraud prevention, safety tools, rights reporting, and service improvement where permitted.

Creator analytics may be aggregated, delayed, estimated, anonymised, or limited to protect user privacy and platform integrity.


19. Watch History and Advertising

Watch activity may influence advertising personalisation or ad measurement where permitted by law and user settings.

Users may have cookie, consent, privacy, or advertising preference controls where available.

More information is available in our Advertising Policy, Cookie Policy, and Cookie Settings & Consent Preferences.


20. Account Deletion and Watch History

Account deletion or data removal requests may affect watch history and viewing records according to Playflick policies and applicable law.

Some records may be deleted, anonymised, aggregated, restricted, or retained where required or permitted for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, payment disputes, moderation, rights protection, tax, accounting, or platform integrity.
