Does StreamFab add a "Customer ID" to files created?

This was brought up previously and didn't receive a response from Moderator nor StreamFab.

StreamFab **had* a sentence (see attached) on it's website @ https://streamfab.com/statement.htm that said "We've included the customer/account id in the metadata of the files extracted from streaming platforms."

That sentence has now been removed from the statement after it was pointed out - which was linked in thought to next two sentences that come after that are "Therefore we took one step further to help anyone who's willing to share content to think harder before deciding to do so. For our majority of users, that understand that the files are strictly for personal use, that piece of info has no importance since the files never leave their own personal storages." that are still in the statement.

Still not clear if this "Customer ID" is added to the files.

Thanks!

I can say that yes it did add an ID to the files which was different for each streaming provider. while analyzing files I was editing metadata on I discovered the ID. I then found it was the same ID on each video downloaded from the same provider.

To add a watermark, they would have to admit they are reencoding files. Adding watermarks would also in itself be a copyright violation.
Adding metadata is meaningless...it can be easily removed.
