Spotify keeps your streaming history for your account’s life

The policy says Spotify keeps your streaming history while your account exists, then deletes or de-identifies it when the account is deleted.

AI-feature prompts may be used in model development

If you use AI features, Spotify lists prompts and transcripts as usage data and permits using usage data to develop and train models.

This applies if you use AI-powered features that generate prompts or transcripts.

If you use Spotify messaging, Spotify may review messages

If messaging is available and you use it, the terms allow Spotify to monitor or review messages shared privately with other users.

Spotify shares ad data with partners, with a Tailored Ads opt-out

Spotify may share User Data and Usage Data with ad partners for relevant ads and measurement; the policy offers a Tailored Ads opt-out for interest-based ads.

The partner sharing for interest-based ads is limited by the Tailored Ads opt-out; the policy also says ads may still be based on registration information and real-time Spotify use.

Depending on how you share, posts may be public and reshared

Depending on the sharing method and your settings, content may be public, and others may reshare it on Spotify or across the web.

This applies when you post or share content; visibility depends on the method and your account settings.

You can opt out of sharing for interest-based ads

The Tailored Ads setting lets you stop sharing information with third-party ad partners for interest-based ads, though other ads may still use your registration and real-time use.

This protection applies when you turn off the Tailored Ads setting; some advertising may continue.

Marketing partners may combine data for Spotify promotions

For promotion and marketing, Spotify may share User Data and Usage Data with partners, who may combine it with information they collect and use it for offers.

This applies when Spotify discloses data to marketing partners for the promotional purposes described in the policy.

Posts stay yours, but Spotify gets an irrevocable service-use license

If you post User Content, you keep ownership but grant Spotify a worldwide, irrevocable, transferable and sublicensable license to use it in connection with its service.

This license applies to User Content you post on Spotify and is stated to be in connection with the Spotify Service.

Spotify may reuse your feedback without payment or confidentiality

If you send ideas or suggestions, Spotify may use them without restriction or payment, and the terms say the feedback is not confidential.

This applies if you provide ideas, suggestions or other feedback in connection with Spotify or its content.

Suspension or termination may leave paid amounts unreimbursed

For specified suspension or termination circumstances, the terms say Spotify generally will not refund amounts already paid, except for a stated prepaid-plan discontinuation refund.

A prorated refund is stated if Spotify permanently discontinues a directly purchased prepaid subscription before its prepaid period ends.

The terms seek to require individual arbitration for most disputes

The terms seek to require individual arbitration instead of most court cases or class actions; arbitration has no judge or jury and limited court review.

The terms state exceptions including qualifying individual small-claims actions and disputes involving alleged intellectual-property infringement.

The terms seek a one-year deadline to start a claim

The terms say claims must be started within one year after you knew or reasonably should have known of the underlying issue, subject to applicable law.

The terms state this limit applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

If you choose a paid plan, it generally renews until canceled

If you choose a paid subscription, it generally renews with recurring charges until canceled; cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period.

The terms except prepaid periods from the general recurring arrangement.

Paid-plan cancellation generally does not refund unused time

If you choose a paid plan and cancel mid-period, the terms generally deny refunds or credits for the unused portion, subject to law and stated exceptions.

This applies if you choose a paid subscription and cancel before the billing period ends; legal requirements and express exceptions may apply.
