Your data in YouTube
Your data in YouTube is a feature that makes it easier for you to understand and control what data is saved and how it is used on YouTube and across Google. It gives you quick access to YouTube privacy controls, as well as information about how YouTube works with your data, such as your search and watch history. The activity in your history is private and is used to improve your experience, like reminding you what you've watched and giving you more relevant recommendations and search results. You can remove specific videos from your watch history and queries from your search history, pause your watch and search history or start afresh by clearing your entire watch and search history. Any videos removed from your history will no longer influence your recommendations and queries that you've removed won't be shown in your search bar as suggestions.
