Review the account history first
Yle’s instructions place logged-in usage information on the History page of your own account data. It can include launched video and audio, articles, comments and chat messages. A television shared by a family can contribute activity under the account already signed in there. An unfamiliar programme in this history therefore needs its device context before being treated as evidence of an intruder.
Request and retrieve the export
Open the Yle ID My Data page, find Download my data near the bottom and select Request a summary of my data. Yle says compilation usually takes a few minutes. An email notification tells you when to return to My Data and download the file. The email is a readiness notice; the documented retrieval route returns to the account page.
Keep personalisation controls separate
The Yle ID terms describe use history, favourites, selections, consents and settings as parts of personalisation across devices. They also allow personalised content recommendations to be turned off in the account settings. Changing that preference is a different action from requesting a copy of stored information. Neither action is described as acquiring a playable copy of a television episode.
Choose an account change deliberately
Yle’s terms say deleting the username removes access to features that require registration. Its instructions also say individual stored items cannot currently be deleted through Yle ID. Export the information you want before making a broader account decision, and keep the downloaded file private because it contains account information. These are account-management choices, independent of a programme’s viewing rights or available soundtrack.
