Spotify introduces highly invasive new privacy policy

[Katsuki Bakugo 9,788]

I'm surprised people worry about terms and conditions when something new is introduced when they didn't bother reading the first one they signed

 

These people are also the ones that are probably shocked that they see adverts for Gaga or their local gym on Facebook though

Besides Lawyers, who actually reads that ****?

That's my point. Majority of people already signed over god know's what information... Spotify having access to your photos with permission and a purpose isn't that bad

That's my point. Majority of people already signed over god know's what information... Spotify having access to your photos with permission and a purpose isn't that bad 

And if they wanted to, they could get it without your permission.

This is old. Spotify's CEO clarified what really happens with the new privacy policy:

“Let me be crystal clear here: If you don’t want to share this kind of information, you don’t have to. We will ask for your express permission before accessing any of this data – and we will only use it for specific purposes that will allow you to customize your Spotify experience.”

Here's the actual privacy policy:

"We never receive any of the following information unless you expressly choose to share it with us. It’s as simple as that. Here are some examples:

Your specific location: We will never gather or use your specific device location without first getting your explicit permission. This information enables us to create collaborative listening experiences (only with others who have also given permission), and to provide even better recommendations about locally popular music, live venues, and concerts.
Your photos: We will only access images that you specifically choose, and we will never scan or import your photo library or camera roll. This allows you to choose individual pictures to change your profile picture or create cover art for a playlist. You can stop sharing photos and revoke access at any time.
Your contacts: We will never scan or import your contacts unless you ask us to. If you choose to do so, we will only use your contact information to help you find friends or contacts who use Spotify.
Your microphone: We will never access or use your microphone unless you give us explicit permission. This could enable you to control Spotify with your voice, and you will alway have the ability to disable access to the microphone."

Not sure if policy or forced spying.

Come on, folks, migrate to Apple Music
