class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the most common concerns VidIQ users might have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>VidIQ features compatibility with YouTube\u2019s Terms of Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VidIQ data security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VidIQ subscription payment safety<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss each of these concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people claim that VidIQ is not complying with YouTube Terms of service. This is not true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube doesn\u2019t allow the use of 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party automation tools but there is no automation feature in VidIQ that doesn\u2019t comply with YouTube ToS.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"987\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/is-VidIQ-safe-to-use.png\" alt=\"is VidIQ safe to use\" class=\"wp-image-4939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/is-VidIQ-safe-to-use.png 987w, https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/is-VidIQ-safe-to-use-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/is-VidIQ-safe-to-use-768x530.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To sum up, you don\u2019t have to fear that YouTube will suspend your YouTube account because of any VidIQ feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VidIQs_data_usage_and_security\"><\/span>VidIQ\u2019s data usage and security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second main concern related to VidIQ usage is data security. VidIQ is a YouTube analytics and optimization tool so it is not a surprise that you have to allow VidIQ to access your YouTube Analytics data.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"293\" src=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/allow-VidIQ-to-access-and-manager-your-YouTUbe-account-and-analyitics-data-1.png\" alt=\"allow VidIQ to access and manager your YouTUbe account and analyitics data\" class=\"wp-image-4941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/allow-VidIQ-to-access-and-manager-your-YouTUbe-account-and-analyitics-data-1.png 636w, https:\/\/roihacks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/allow-VidIQ-to-access-and-manager-your-YouTUbe-account-and-analyitics-data-1-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, when you allow VidIQ to access this data they state that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>they don\u2019t sell your data to third parties<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they don\u2019t delete your content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_paying_for_VidIQ_subscription_safe\"><\/span>Is paying for VidIQ subscription safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>VidIQ uses Stripe for processing payments of <a href=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/vidiq-pricing\/\">VidIQ subscriptions<\/a>. Stripe is a one of the most secure and reputable payment processors available globally, so we think you don\u2019t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they state on their website: <em>All card numbers are encrypted on disk with AES-256 and decryption keys are stored on separate machines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you purchase a VidIQ premium subscription, you should be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/roihacks.com\/cancel-vidiq-subscription\/\">cancel VidIQ subscription<\/a> if you don&#8217;t like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personal_Anecdote\"><\/span>Personal Anecdote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have your doubts, here is some more convincing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been using VidIQ for more than 3 years now, have been a paying customer for a long time as well, and haven\u2019t faced any payment, security, data issues so far.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-0339d440\">\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-62b2d519 gb-button-text\" href=\"https:\/\/vidiq.com\/try\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Click Here To Sign Up For VidIQ!<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_VidIQ_safely\"><\/span>How to use VidIQ safely?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, VidIQ can be used safely even if you are completely careless.
