LOS GATOS, Calif – In a blog post on Monday, Netflix said it is launching a PIN parental control option for individual movies and series.
“We understand every family is different and that parents have differing perspectives on what they feel is appropriate to watch at different ages. While we already provide PIN protection for all content at a particular maturity level for Netflix accounts, PIN protection for a specific series or film provides families with an additional tool to make decisions they are comfortable with,” reads the post by Mike Hastings, director of enhanced content.
As well, the post said the streamer will start more prominently showing the maturity level rating for a series or film once a member hits play on a title.
“While these maturity ratings are available in other parts of the experience, we want to ensure members are fully aware of the maturity level as they begin watching. We are also continuing to explore ways to make this information more descriptive and easier for our members to understand with just a quick glance,” Hastings wrote.
“These latest steps are part of our continuous efforts to keep members better informed, and more in control, of what they and their families choose to watch and enjoy on Netflix.”
