This clause establishes the operational basis for Spotify's targeted advertising model by authorizing cross-context data use and third-party data integration. The provision specifies that tailored advertising relies on aggregating usage signals from multiple digital contexts to optimize ad placement.
Under this provision, users' service usage data and third-party behavioral signals are combined to determine ad content shown within Spotify. The terms authorize this data integration without requiring affirmative opt-in per ad delivery instance.
