content: Photos What he says there does make sense.   Location They are simply lying about this. Just a few days ago I read a report from a music creator on spotify who confirmed that they are handing out location data like it's going out of style.   Voice Complete bullshit. Every smartphone OS these days has a voice assistant they can integrate into. No reason to do it on their own.   Contacts I guess I did not realize that spotifys social aspect was more important then the music streaming. What they are doing there would be normal for a communication software.    Sharing This is normal.   It seems like a bad joke that one can only comment on the post with a facebook account. I would have loved to answer them directly, but I guess that isn't happening.
