data and provides information about your User Content that will not
always be evident to the viewer. For example, in connection with your
User Content the metadata can describe how, when, where, and by whom the
piece of User Content was created, collected, or modified and how that
content is formatted. It also includes information, such as your account
name, that enables other users to trace back the User Content to your
user account. Additionally, metadata includes data that you choose to
provide with your User Content, e.g., any hashtags used to mark keywords
to the video and captions.
