By extending state privacy rights to all U.S. residents, the policy makes data access, deletion, correction, portability, and opt-out of tailored advertising available to users in states that do not yet have standalone comprehensive privacy laws, expanding the practical scope of these rights beyond what applicable law strictly requires.
All U.S. Spotify users, regardless of their state of residence, can exercise rights to access, correct, delete, and receive a portable copy of their personal data, and can opt out of tailored advertising and withdraw consent, through the mechanisms described in Section 2 of the policy.
