Spotify Announces Changes to Terms, Conditions of Use, Privacy Policy
Spotify is rolling out an updated terms and conditions of use and privacy policy to customers during the next few weeks, the company said Monday. “We want to be as open and transparent as possible when it comes to how we describe our business, how we work with advertisers, what information we collect, and what we do with it,” Spotify said about the changes. The company also wants to ensure it's “up-to-date with all the latest features we are offering.” Some of the changes in the privacy policy include: an expansion of the Information We Collect section to include technical data like cookies, device information and network information; notice that customer permission will be requested to collect information from new sources like an address book, location and sensor data from mobile devices; and clarity was added regarding how Spotify shares data with marketing and advertising partners.
