AI Feature Prompts and Transcript Collection — Spotify

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

When you use Spotify's AI-powered features, everything you type or say as a prompt — and the transcripts of those interactions — is collected and stored as personal data.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Any text or voice prompts you enter into Spotify's AI features, as well as full transcripts of those interactions, are collected and form part of your usage data profile — which Spotify uses for service personalization and potentially for advertising inferences.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Export Your Data

Go to spotify.com/account/privacy and use the 'Download your data' tool to request a copy of your personal data, which should include AI prompt and transcript data collected during your use of Spotify's AI features.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

AI prompt and transcript data can be highly sensitive, revealing personal preferences, health-related queries, or other intimate details, and its retention and secondary use for model training or advertising is not explicitly limited in this policy.

View original clause language

Personal data collected and processed about you when you're accessing or using the Spotify Service. This includes information such as: your actions with the Spotify Service (including date and time), such as: prompts in AI powered features; transcripts.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: AI-generated interaction data implicates FTC Act Section 5 regarding deceptive collection practices and the FTC's 2024 AI guidance on data minimization. Under CPRA, prompts and transcripts constitute 'personal information' and may constitute 'sensitive personal information' depending on content, triggering additional use limitations under Cal. Civ. Code §1798.121. Emerging EU AI Act obligations (though this is a U.S. policy) may inform best practice expectations for institutional reviewers. State consumer privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, and Texas similarly cover AI-generated personal data. (2)
