Any ideas, bug reports, feature suggestions, or other feedback you share with Spotify are free for Spotify to use in any way — including building them into the product — and you will never be compensated for them.
If you suggest a feature or product improvement to Spotify through any channel (support tickets, community forums, email), Spotify can implement your idea without crediting or paying you, and there is no confidentiality obligation on their part.
Creative users, developers, and power users who provide detailed product suggestions or feature ideas to Spotify through any channel should understand that Spotify can freely implement those ideas as its own intellectual property without any obligation of payment, attribution, or confidentiality. This prevents any future claims for compensation based on contributed ideas.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision is governed primarily by contract law and the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.) — feedback that rises to the level of copyrightable expression is subject to the broader user content license; purely functional ideas are not copyrightable under 17 U.S.C. §102(b) (idea-expression dichotomy). Trade secret law (Defend Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. §1836) may be implicated if users share proprietary business methodologies as 'feedback,' though the express non-confidentiality clause likely defeats any trade secret claim. State-level idea submission doctrines (e.g., Desny v. Wilder in California) may provide limited protection in some jurisdictions.
