## What type of data is collected and where?
As a first time user of LBRY applications and [lbry.tv](https://lbry.tv), you have the option of providing an email address to create a LBRY account. This allows for a richer user experience by enabling services such as [LBRY Rewards](https://lbry.com/faq/rewards), email notifications, and account synchronization (i.e. subscriptions and user preferences) across multiple devices/platforms. If you do not provide an email, any data collected cannot be associated with your identity, but may still be tied back to other system information like IP addresses.
See below tables for a break-down of the types of data collected and associated applications.
