What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

“Clicking on such links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you.”

What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

“Note: For security, Spotify never stores your full card number - ZIP/postal code - mobile phone number - details of your purchase and payment history Precise Location Data Spotify will only use your precise location data with your permission.”

What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.
