Spotify

↗ spotify.com

Spotify collects extensive data about you starting before you even sign up, including your listening habits, voice recordings, and payment history, and uses all of it to build behavioral profiles that are shared with advertising partners and third-party ad networks that track you across the web. Your email is converted into tracking IDs and distributed to ad companies, your data trains Spotify's AI without your consent, and some of it is kept indefinitely even after you delete your account. Spotify can change its privacy policy without your approval, transfer your data to countries with weaker legal protections, hand it to authorities based on its own judgment, and pass everything to a new owner if the company is sold. You can download a copy of your data, but overall Spotify's legal terms give it broad, largely unchecked control over your personal information with limited ability for you to opt out.
