You or your account administrator may also choose to work with third-party products integrated into Canva or third-party applications (listed here (opens in a new tab or window) ) from within Canva so that you can incorporate elements into your designs (e.g., YouTube, an application that uses the YouTube API Services and users agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (opens in a new tab or window) and Google Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab or window) , and Google Drive), enhance your media (e.g., with duotone and shadows) or supercharge your workflow (e.g., with LinkedIn or Slack). For example, you may install a third-party document sharing app in order to store, share and edit content through our Service. Using third party-products or integrating with third party applications could involve importing data from that third party to Canva and/or exporting data from Canva to that third party. If this requires connecting your Canva account to your account on the third party application, you will be asked for permission.
