### Question

In my web app I only want to integrate Bitmovin player. I would like to understand how Bitmovin player will track the player usage for my integration.  
How secure my content will be, is there going to be any review based on the content playing. As this might have security concerns.

Hi,  
For billing purposes, we count each playback session the player is performing, :

- [What counts as an impression in the player?](https://developer.bitmovin.com/playback/docs/what-counts-as-an-impression-in-the-player)

The player sends requests to our licensing server in order to do so. To make sure only your website can generate impressions against your Bitmovin paid plan, this only work for domains that are allow-listed as explained in the tutorial below :

- [How can I allowlist a domain, IP, app ID, package name, or bundle identifier?](https://developer.bitmovin.com/playback/docs/how-can-i-allowlist-a-domain-ip-app-id-package-name-or-bundle-identifier#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20use%20the,com%2Fplayer%2Flicenses%2F).

With this mechanism, the player will work only for your license key / domain combination.

Note that this is not a content protection mechanism and only DRM can effectively protect your content.

Please let me know in case you have any questions.
