How to Remove Your YouTube Viewing and Search History Before Google's New Privacy Policy Takes Effect

On March 1st, Google will implement its new, unified privacy policy, which will affect data Google has collected on you prior to March 1st as well as data it collects on you in the future. Earlier this week, we showed you how to delete your Google Web History in order to prevent Google from combining your Web History data with the data it has about you on its other products to provide you with personalized ads or suggestions across all of its products. You may also wish to delete your YouTube Viewing and Search History, which can reveal particularly sensitive information about you, including your location, interests, age, sexual orientation, religion, and health concerns.

Note that disabling Viewing and Search History in your YouTube account will not prevent Google from gathering and storing this information and using it for internal purposes. It also does not change the fact that any information gathered and stored by Google could be sought by law enforcement.
With Viewing and Search History enabled, Google will keep these records indefinitely; with it disabled, they will be partially anonymized after 18 months, and certain kinds of uses, including sending you customized search results, will be prevented. An individual concerned about privacy may also want to set up a secondary Google account for browsing and sharing YouTube videos. She could then download all of her existing YouTube videos to her computer, delete them from her primary Google profile, and then use a separate browser to upload them to a new secondary Google account. If you want to do more to reduce the records Google keeps, the advice in EFF's Six Tips to Protect Your Search Privacy white paper remains relevant.

The following steps will delete your viewing and search history on YouTube. If you have multiple YouTube accounts, you will have to complete these steps for each account.
1. Log in to your Google account.

2. Go to https://www.youtube.com

3. Click on your icon.

4. Click “Video Manager”

5. Click “History”

6. Click “Clear all viewing history.”

7. Click “Pause viewing history."

8. Click "Search History."

9. Click "Clear all search history."

10. Click “Pause search history.”

If you have multiple YouTube accounts, you will have to complete these steps for each account.

Obama Administration Unveils Promising Consumer Privacy Plan, but the Devil Will Be in the Details

Today the White House proposed a framework for protecting privacy in the digital age. The plan, laid out in detail in a white paper (pdf), includes a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights based on well-established fair information practice principles. EFF, which has previously proposed a Bill of Privacy Rights for Social Network Users, believes this user-centered approach to privacy protection is a solid one.

The Administration's bill of rights guarantees:

Individual Control. Consumers have a right to exercise control over what personal data companies collect and how they use it.Transparency. Consumers have a right to easily understandable and accessible information about privacy and security practices.Respect for Context. Consumers have a right to expect that companies will collect, use, and disclose personal data in ways that are consistent with the context in which consumers provide the data.Security. Consumers have a right to secure and responsible handling of personal data.Access and Accuracy. Consumers have a right to access and correct personal data in usable formats, in a manner that is appropriate to the sensitivity of the data and the risk of adverse consequences to consumers if the data is inaccurate.Focused Collection. Consumers have a right to reasonable limits on the personal data that companies collect and retain.Accountability. Consumers have a right to have personal data handled by companies with appropriate measures in place to assure they adhere to the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights.

The Administration vowed to push toward enacting these foundational principles into law, and encouraged Congress to give the Federal Trade Commission the sign-off to enforce them. The Department of Commerce will also bring together companies, consumer groups, and other stakeholders to develop legally enforceable codes of conduct for particular markets.

Finally, the Administration's framework will encourage global data protection by promoting mutual recognition of nations' privacy frameworks and cooperative enforcement among countries.

EFF applauds the principles underlying the White House proposal and believes it reflects an important commitment to safeguard users' data in the networked world without stifling innovation. Only time will tell whether the proposal will be implemented in a way that effectively protects user privacy, and that's where the rubber meets the road. We'll have more to say about that in the coming days.

California AG Agreement Calls on Mobile Apps to Be Transparent About All the Ways They Invade User Privacy

California State Attorney General Kamala Harris announced an agreement yesterday with six mobile app platform providers aimed at encouraging app developers to provide more accessible privacy policies. The announcement comes at an auspicious moment -- consumer outrage at the recently-discovered address book practices that Path and other app developers claim are "industry standard" shows that there's a serious disconnect when it comes to industry practices and user privacy expectations. But we should be wary about solutions that depend on walled gardens. App developers need to start baking privacy protection into their designs, and though this agreement may help encourage that, it's not clear that it's the best tool to give consumers meaningful choices when it comes to controlling what data mobile apps access and share.

Under the agreement, Amazon, Apple, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft and Research In Motion will create fields for app developers to provide information about their privacy policies when submitting apps to the app store. These fields are optional, but developers who fill them out make it easy for consumers to find the app's privacy policy.1

Of course, providing a privacy policy is not enough to actually safeguard user data. Companies have a lot of leeway about what goes into the privacy policy. They can use vague, overbroad language so they can collect lots of data about users, share it with affiliates, sell it to marketers, or provide it to the government upon request. And even a strong privacy policy is little consolation; a privacy policy can change at any time, so today's protective language could be tomorrow's permissive exceptions. We saw a powerful example of this with Google’s recent privacy policy changes, in which the company removed the silos from different Google products and allowed YouTube and Web History to be combined with data gathered from other Google products. And consumers expect a lot more when it comes to their online privacy; a study by the Berkeley Samuelson Clinic and Annenberg Public Policy Center found that users (incorrectly) thought that a posted privacy policy meant certain protections for their data against common advertising practices.

The good news about yesterday’s agreement is that it may encourage app developers to start thinking through the privacy ramifications of the technology they create. And this month’s address book uploading issues shows that these companies need the external motivation. When Hipster, a photo sharing social network app, was found to be surreptitiously uploading contact lists to their servers, their CEO announced an “Application Privacy Summit” to suss out the privacy issues around mobile apps. But the promised summit was scheduled for earlier this month and still hasn’t taken place.

The AG's agreement may be one way to address these issues, but this particular program -- relying on walled gardens and closed door negotiations with the gardens' gatekeepers -- isn’t necessarily the ideal resolution for the privacy problems afflicting mobile app users. Users need to have a voice when it comes to controlling their data, and software developers need to respect their choices or be held accountable.
