We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g., by filling out a form) through our website, a survey, e-mail or otherwise. The disclosure of this information is not required to use the Application. This information may include :

  • Your full name;
  • Your email address;

2.4.  Collected by Youtube

The Youtube service (operated by Google) collects data when you interact with the Youtube interface from the Application, for example when you link content available on Youtube to the Application.

The Application does not allow you to log in to a Youtube or Google account, so the Youtube service (Google) only collects data related to your iPad (operating system, language, IP address, identification number, etc.).
