company (“Study Sponsor”).
WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE? The objective of this study is to collect information, including video images

Participant, or any other persons (such as images of faces or voice recording that includes you or the Partner Participant
saying things that could identify you, eg, using names) appears or is included in the video. You should also : (i) ensure
that your chosen setting does not include items that could identify you or the Partner Participant (e.g. readable address

personal items from plain view that you do not want recorded (e.g. sensitive photographs).
