What is Protecting your Privacy?
Protecting your privacy means that you are taking care not to post personal information that could result in you being harmed over the internet or in person.
YouTube takes our user's privacy seriously. Our Privacy Removals Process is a place we've created for our users to report privacy violations. With this form, you can report privacy violations relating to your image, voice, full name, financial and other personally identifying information such as your home address or phone number.
In some instances, we require you to go through our anonymous webform process that allows us to contact the uploader to notify them of the violation to give them a chance to remove the video on their own. We give the uploader 48 hours to remove or edit the content on their own. When the 48 hours are up, and if the uploader has not removed or edited any potential privacy violations within the content as requested, the video then comes to YouTube Staff for review.
In other cases, where the user is revealing personal data such as your home address, telephone number, or other financial data such as credit card numbers or bank account information, we allow direct reporting so that these cases can be reviewed as soon as possible.
How can I protect my privacy?
There are several steps you can take to protect your personal privacy while interacting on YouTube. Read further for more information:
- Think carefully before posting personal information such as the town you live in, where you go to school, your email address or your full name. Consider who you are sharing this information with and how they might use it. If you’re unsure, stay on the safe side.
- If a video contains personal information without your consent, such as your image, name, voice, home address, telephone number, national identification number, or financial records, please contact us through our Privacy Removal Process.
- Protect your account by protecting your password.
Why should I protect my privacy?
Protecting your personal information can help prevent unwanted strangers from tracking you down physically, or internet strangers from stealing your identity or financial information. If your video is personal, consider marking it private so that only your friends and those you share it with can view it. If you do post public videos, make sure there isn't anything in them that could help a stranger figure out who you are or where you live.
Privacy Removals Process
FAQ:
Q: How do I report a privacy violation?
A: You can report privacy violations through our privacy removals webform found here Privacy Removals Process
Q: Do you remove everything reported?
A: We don't act on all privacy complaints. The complaints we do act on usually involve videos, comments, or other text that contain your image or private information (such as social security number, government I.D., or credit card information).
These days there's a good likelihood that you might get caught on camera if you're in a public place - whether it be a security camera or a tourist who inadvertently captures your image in their video. If you're complaining about a video that shows you in passing while you're in a public place, chances are we won't take action on your complaint unless you're clearly identified or identifiable in the video.
Also keep in mind that we're more likely to act on a privacy complaint about images or text that you have not previously posted anywhere on YouTube. And if someone copies videos you created and you would like them removed, the most direct way to do this is by submitting a copyright claim.
Q: What if I feel I am in danger because of personally identifying information posted about me?
A: If at any time you feel you are in danger, please contact your local law enforcement for further assistance.
Q: Can I report a privacy violation for someone other than myself?
A: In order to process privacy claims, we must receive notification directly from the individual in the video or their legal guardian. Legal guardian can mean parent, legal care giver, or legal representative.
If the individual involved is your friend, relative, teacher or coworker, please have them contact us directly. Any attempt to report a privacy violation for someone other than yourself will not be investigated.
Q: Will you remove images of my video game avatar?
A: Your video game avatar is not considered your legal personal identity and will not be removed unless there is additional information that states your real name along with other private information.

Tips from Cybersmart.gov.au:  Keep your personal details private. Use an appropriate handle or username instead of your real name. If you are unsure, don’t give out your name, address, phone number or any other personal details over the internet. Don’t share your username or password with anyone. Think before you hit send or post. Once something is posted, it can be online forever. Don't post anything you don't want others to know—or that you wouldn’t say to them face to face. Respect your friends too—that ‘funny’ photo of them at a party might not be so funny for them, and they might not be very happy if you post it up for everyone in the world to see. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Remember that private images and videos you send to friends or post on a social networking site may be easily passed on to others and uploaded to public sites. This can include pictures that may only be intended for your close friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Once they’re up, it’s almost impossible to remove them completely. Respect other people’s content and be aware that if you post or share their content it might breach copyright laws. For example, a photo that your friend took is their property, not yours. You can only post it online if you have their permission. Read the terms and conditions of any photo or content sharing sites. Some sites require you to license the material to the site, which might mean that you lose control over your content. |
