Annual reminder about YouTube’s Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy

This email is an annual reminder that your use of YouTube is subject to the Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and Google's Privacy Policy. While our Terms of Service remain a legal document, we've done our best to make them easy to understand.   The Community Guidelines which are a part of our Terms of Service, aim to make YouTube a safer community while still giving creators the freedom to share a broad range of experiences and perspectives. The Community Guidelines outline what type of content isn't allowed on YouTube. These policies apply to all types of content on our platform, including videos, comments, links and thumbnails. In addition to Community Guidelines, creators who want to monetise content on YouTube must comply with Monetization Policies.   By way of due diligence as an intermediary we also take this opportunity to remind our users to comply with the Indian Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules.   Please adhere to these terms to maintain continued use of and access to YouTube. Violation of these terms and guidelines may result in warnings or further action including loss of access or termination of all or part of your account.   Thank you for being part of our global community!

Updating our Google Account inactivity policy

Every day Google works hard to keep you and your private information safe and secure by preventing unauthorized access to your Google Account with our built-in security protections. And keeping you safe means having strong privacy practices across our products that minimize how long we store your personal files and any data associated with them. We want to protect your private information and prevent any unauthorized access to your account even if you're no longer using our services. Therefore, we are updating the inactivity period for a Google Account to two years across all our products and services. This change starts rolling out today and will apply to any Google Account that's been inactive, meaning it has not been signed into or used within a two-year period. An inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023. What this means for you: These changes do not impact you unless you have been inactive in your Google Account for two years or have not used your account to sign in to any Google service for over two years. While the changes go into effect today, the earliest we would enforce any account deletion would be December 2023. If your account is considered inactive, we will send several reminder emails to both you and your recovery emails (if any have been provided) before we take any action or delete any account content. These reminder emails will go out at least 8 months before any action is taken on your account. After a Google Account is deleted, the Gmail address for the deleted account cannot be used again when creating a new Google Account. How to keep your account active? The simplest way to keep a Google Account active is to sign in to the account at least once every two years. If you have signed in to your Google Account recently in the past two years, your account is considered active and will not be deleted. Other ways to keep your account active include: Reading or sending an email Using Google Drive Watching a YouTube video Sharing a photo Downloading an app Using Google Search Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service There are some exceptions to this policy. Examples include: a Google Account with YouTube channels, videos or comments; an account that has a gift card with a monetary balance; or an account that has a published application, for example, one that hosts an app on the Google Play store. Other exceptions to this policy are available here. Google also offers tools to help manage your Google Account and provide options to back up your data, including the ability to download your data using Google Takeout, and allowing you to plan for what happens to your data if you're inactive for a specific period of time with the Inactive Account Manager. Our priority is to make it as easy as possible for you to keep your account active, if you want to, and we'll ensure you have adequate notice before any account is impacted by this change. So before an account is deleted, Google will send email notifications to the Google Account and its recovery email (if one has been provided). You should verify that your recovery email is up to date.

You can now choose your YouTube handle

Hi Devin Canfield, You can now choose your channel's handle. As a reminder, in most cases, if you already have a personalized URL for your channel, we've reserved this for you as your handle. If you're happy with that handle then you're all set. If you want a different handle from the one we reserved, you can change it. If you don't already have a personalized URL today, you'll also be able to choose a handle. Keep in mind that handles are unique to each channel, so once a handle has been chosen, it can't be selected by anyone else. CHOOSE A HANDLE In the future, your handle will be how people mention you in comments, Community posts, and more.

Introducing: YouTube Handles

Hi Devin Canfield, We're writing to let you know that over the coming weeks YouTube will be introducing handles to make it easier for members of the community to find and connect with each other. Your handle will be unique to your channel and will be how people mention you in comments, community posts, and more. Here's what you need to know: We're gradually rolling out the ability to choose a handle for all channels over the coming weeks, and you will receive another email and a notification in YouTube Studio when you're able to choose yours. In most cases, if you already have a personalized URL for your channel, we've reserved this for you as your handle. If you want a different handle from the one we've reserved, you can change it. If you don't already have a personalized URL today, you'll also be able to choose a handle for your channel. Starting on November 14, 2022, if you haven't yet selected a handle for your channel, YouTube will automatically assign you a handle, which you can change in YouTube Studio if you'd like. In the meantime, learn more about handles and all the things you'll be able to do with them: LEARN MORE Sincerely, The YouTube team You received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your YouTube channel or account. © 2022 Google LLC d/b/a YouTube, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066
