|Short Title=Google Photos Bug Sent Private Videos to the Wrong People
|Location=Global
|Date=Early 2020
|Taxonomy=Disclosure, Insecurity
|Personal Information=Physical Characteristics, Identifying, Behavioral
|Threat Actors=Google
|Affected Individuals=Google Takeout users
|Summary=Google announced about a security and privacy bug affecting Google Photos users: for some time, it was possible for private videos to be downloaded by unrelated users.
|Description=In early 2020 for a time, it was possible for private videos from Google Photos to be downloaded by unrelated users. 
The bug happened through Google Takeout, a service that lets a user download archives of their Google data. Apparently, the wrong videos were included in these user-generated archives, resulting in the users getting local copies of somebody else's videos. This is an example of [[Insecurity]]. 

Videos incorrectly exported to unrelated users is an example of [[Disclosure]].

Google says that the issue has been solved, and it recommends that users delete and re-export any data created during this time.
