Your channel remains completely under your control at all times.

We retain your YouTube data for as long as your account is active. When you disconnect your channel or delete your account:

  • Your YouTube data is deleted from our active systems within 30 days

  3. Click "Remove Access"

Once revoked, we will no longer be able to access your YouTube data and will begin the data deletion process.
