Spotify's Terms require users to arbitrate all disputes individually, eliminating the right to sue in court or join class action lawsuits, which significantly limits legal recourse if Spotify harms you. Any content you post — including messages, playlists, and feedback — is licensed to Spotify permanently and royalty-free, and Spotify can use your device's processor, bandwidth, and storage to operate the service. You can review your account privacy settings and content permissions at spotify.com/account and opt out of marketing-related data uses through Spotify's Privacy Settings.
