WatchMyBit Privacy Policy

Please review the following for information on dealing with your privacy issue.

We're serious about protecting our users by addressing potential privacy concerns. Our privacy guidelines apply to all users across the world. In other words, while the video in question may not violate your country's privacy laws, it may still violate WatchMyBit's privacy guidelines.

How does WatchMyBit determine if content should be removed for a privacy violation?

For content to be considered for removal, an individual must be uniquely identifiable by image, voice, full name, Social Security number, bank account number or contact information (e.g. home address, email address). Examples that would not violate our privacy guidelines include gamer tags, avatar names, and address information in which the individual is not named. We also take public interest, newsworthiness, and consent into account when determining if content should be removed for a privacy violation. WatchMyBit reserves the right to make the final determination of whether a violation of its privacy guidelines has occurred.

What does uniquely identifiable mean?

To be considered uniquely identifiable, there must be enough information in the video that allows others to recognize you. Please note that just because you can identify yourself within the video, it does not mean you are uniquely identifiable to others. A first name without additional context or a fleeting image, for example, would not likely qualify as uniquely identifiable.

How WatchMyBit's privacy process works

If a privacy complaint is filed, WatchMyBit provides the uploader an opportunity to remove or edit the private information within their video. We issue notification of the potential violation and provide the uploader 72 hours to take action on the complaint. If the uploader removes the video during these 72 hours, the complaint filed will be closed. If the potential privacy violation remains on the site after 72 hours, the WatchMyBit Team will then review the complaint.

Our Privacy Complaint Process also accounts for cases that warrant urgent removal of contact or financial data.

Reporting a privacy violation

To file a privacy complaint, please send an email to privacy@WatchMyBit.com . As the complainant, your privacy is respected in this process. At no point will your identity or contact information be released to the uploader without your consent. Our communications to you about this process will be sent to your registered email address. Add privacy@WatchMyBit.com to your spam filter to ensure you receive these messages.

First-party claims required

1. the individual whose privacy is being violated does not have access to a computer
2. the individual whose privacy is being violated is a vulnerable individual
3. you are the parent or legal guardian of the individual whose privacy is being violated
4. you act as a legal representative for the individual whose privacy is being violated

1. other family members (e.g., husband, wife, cousin, brother, sister)
2. co-workers or employees (individuals must report themselves)
3. a company

Tips on filing a complete privacy complaint

1. Please be clear and concise so that the WatchMyBit Team can identify you within the video.
2. Use the time stamp to indicate only one or two places where you clearly appear in the video.
3. In the body of the email, please specify what you are wearing or doing that differentiates you from others within the video.
4. Make sure you've included the video URL in your email or the channel name. You are not required to submit a URL if you are reporting an entire channel.
5. If you are reporting a comment made in the comments section of a video, please note this in the email. Include the commenter's username in the username.

Receiving notice of a privacy violation

WatchMyBit provides you, the uploader an opportunity to remove or edit the private information within your video. We email you about the potential violation and allow you 72 hours to take action on the complaint. If you remove the alleged violation from the site within the 72 hours, the complaint filed will then be closed. If the potential privacy violation remains on the site after 72 hours, the complaint will be reviewed by the WatchMyBit Team.

If we remove your video for a privacy violation, please do not upload another version featuring the same people. These individuals will likely file another privacy complaint or report you for harassment. We are serious about protecting our users and suspend accounts that violate people's privacy.

What if I've obtained consent from the individuals?

Unfortunately we cannot accept or review agreements granting consent before the video was uploaded. Thus, we may still have to remove your video based upon the complaint. Please include any evidence of received consent when you respond to our emails.

How can I address the complaint?

You can remove the reported content completely from the site.

If someone's full name or other personal information is listed within the title, description, or tags of your video, you can edit this by going to My Videos and clicking the Edit button on the reported video.
