Privacy Policy

Policies overview

Viewers and creators around the world use YouTube to express their ideas and opinions freely, and we believe that a broad range of perspectives ultimately makes us a stronger and more informed society, even if we disagree with some of those views. That's why we have policies to help build a safer community.

Community Guidelines

Our Community Guidelines define what we allow and don't allow on YouTube. They exist so that we can protect the community from things such as harmful content, harassment and spam. They apply to everyone, and to all types of content on YouTube – such as videos, comments, links and thumbnails.
