Spotify's ad-targeting practice extends beyond its own platform to incorporate user behavior from third-party websites and apps, broadening the data inputs used to profile users for advertising.
Your activity on Spotify and on other websites and mobile apps may be used by Spotify to serve you more relevant, behaviorally targeted ads.
How other platforms handle this
we may share, or permit third party online advertising networks and other third-party services, to collect, information about your use of our Services over time so that they may display ads that may be relevant to your interests...
Allow us and other advertisers to show you the most relevant products, offers, and advertisements on the site and third-party sites, or through emails or other message platforms.
Any targeted advertising by Ramp will only be carried out to the extent that it is permitted by applicable law.
"This is when we use information about your use of our services and other websites and mobile apps to tailor ads to be more relevant to you.
