This is also known as interest based advertising, targeted advertising, or ‘sharing’ for purposes of cross-context behavioural advertising.</li> <li>An example of tailored advertising is when an advertising partner provides us with information indicating that you may be interested in cars. This could enable us to show you ads about cars.</li> </ul> <div> How to control tailored advertising: </div> <ul> <li>You can control tailored advertising on your <a href="https://www.spotify.com/account/privacy/">Account Privacy</a> page under ‘Tailored Ads’.</li> <li>If you do not have an account or are not logged in, you can also opt-out by clicking the <a href="#optanon-toggle-info-display">'Your Privacy Choices'</a> link at the footer of our website.</li> <li>You can also control tailored advertising for some podcasts using the link in the episode’s show description. This applies where the content provider inserts advertising into the podcast to fund it. The hosting provider, which might not be Spotify, manages these controls for the podcast.</li> <li>You can also visit our services via a browser with a recognized opt-out preference signal enabled, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). If you use a preference signal you may need to renew your preferences if you visit the Spotify Service with another device or browser, or if you clear your cookies.</li> </ul> <div> If you are ‘opted out’ of tailored advertising on your <a href="https://www.spotify.com/account/privacy/">Account Privacy</a> page, you will receive less relevant advertising, including on our free Service Option, as well as our paid Service Option, as applicable (for example, advertising in podcasts). This type of advertising is based on your registration information and what you are currently listening to on our services. For example, if you are listening to a cooking podcast, you may hear an ad for a food processor. </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Appropriate age for tailored advertising: </div> <ul> <li>Younger users may have tailored advertising turned off by default. When you reach the appropriate age, you will start to receive tailored advertising . When this happens, you will receive a message within the Spotify Service to let you know. This message will contain a link to the <a href="https://www.spotify.com/account/privacy/">Account Privacy</a> page where you can change your preferences or ‘opt-out’ of tailored advertising at any time under Tailored Ads.</li> </ul> <h2 id="3-personal-data-we-collect-about-you"><strong>3.

Examples of this include your Spotify username and profile information. We also typically keep streaming history for the life of an account, for example, to provide retrospective playlists that users enjoy and personalized recommendations that take listening habits into account (for example, Your Time Capsule or Your Summer Rewind). When your Spotify account is deleted, this category of data is deleted or de-identified. </div> <div> <br> </div> <ul> <li><strong>Data retained for extended time periods for limited purposes</strong></li> </ul> <div> After your account is deleted, we keep some data for a longer time period but for very limited purposes. For example, we may be subject to legal or contractual obligations that require this. These may include mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data kept for the purposes of litigation. We may also keep data that has been removed from the Spotify Service for a limited period of time. This could be: </div> <ul> <li>to help ensure user safety, or</li> <li>to protect against harmful content on our platform.</li> </ul> <div> This helps us investigate potential breaches of our <a href="https://www.spotify.com/legal/user-guidelines/">User Guidelines</a> and <a href="https://www.spotify.com/platform-rules/">Platform Rules</a>.
