THIRD PARTY INTEGRATIONS
Emaze integrates with third-party services (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube API Services, Linkedin) to automate ingestion of media assets from the third-party service to the Emaze Platform. By using these third-party integrations, you agree and acknowledge that all media assets ingested from third-party services and associated with your Emaze account are processed according to the same guidelines that apply to your other media assets and data stored on the Emaze Platform.
Retention of media assets ingested from third-party services is controlled by you, and you may choose to retain such media assets even after ending your relationship with the third-party service.
