Spotify EU privacy policy adds AI prompts, city location, ad-partner data and Managed Accounts
The policy now lists AI feature prompts, transcripts and ad engagement as collected usage data, and widens general location to include city. Ad and marketing partners may now send device identifiers such as hashed contact information. The age rules are reworked: Managed Accounts are introduced, minors above the age limit need parental consent, and Age Checks have new triggers. Voice Data no longer covers transcripts and is no longer listed as shared with other users.
