Changes to YouTube’s Terms of Service
Every youtube creator gets one email about Changes to YouTube’s Terms of Service.
You’re receiving this email because we’re updating the YouTube Terms of Service (“Terms”) to clarify our terms and provide transparency to our users. The Terms were similarly updated in the United States in November 2020. These changes shouldn't significantly alter your access or use of the YouTube service.
A summary of the changes:
- Facial recognition restrictions: The Terms of Service already state that you cannot collect any information that might identify a person without their permission. While this has always included facial recognition information, the new Terms make that explicitly clear.
- YouTube’s right to monetize: YouTube has the right to monetize all content on the platform and ads may appear on videos from channels not in the YouTube Partner Program.
- Royalty payments and tax withholding: For creators entitled to revenue payments, such payments will be treated as royalties from a U.S. tax perspective and Google will withhold taxes where required by law.
Please make sure you read the updates to the Terms carefully. The new Terms will take effect on June 1, 2021, for users outside the U.S. By continuing to use YouTube after this date, you are agreeing to the new Terms. Please note, if you allow your child to use YouTube Kids, then you are agreeing to the new Terms on behalf of your child as well.
The terms of service now come with an updated section on parental responsibility when children use the platform and have more clearly stated the age requirements per country for using YouTube.
This also includes a notice stating “if you are a minor in your country, you must always have your parent or guardian’s permission before using the service.” YouTube said the terms of service are being changed “in order to make them easier to read and to ensure they’re up to date,” a spokesperson told The Verge.
“We’re not changing the way our products work, how we collect or process data, or any of your settings,” the spokesperson added.
