The clause establishes the operational framework for third-party data flows into Spotify's systems and specifies that permission requirements apply selectively rather than uniformly across all third-party integrations. This provision defines which data collection activities proceed with explicit consent and which may proceed under the terms of service.
Interpretive note: The policy discloses categories of third-party recipients but does not name specific advertising or analytics partners, making it difficult for users to fully assess the scope of data sharing.
Users who connect their Spotify account to third-party applications, services, or devices authorize Spotify to collect and use information from those sources to enable the integration. The provision distinguishes between third-party categories where permission is required before collection and those where collection may proceed under the terms as written.
