). The issue concerns how Spotify handles users' personal data and its customers' access to the information.
Advocacy group Noyb, which is led by privacy campaigner Max Schrems, filed a complaint against Spotify and other major tech companies. In the complaint, Noyb asserted that, among other issues, Spotify didn't provide all personal data to users upon request and that it didn't disclose the reasons for processing such information.
The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection found that while Spotify gives users personal data that it processes upon request, it"does not inform clearly enough about how this data is used by the company." It said that Spotify should be more transparent"about how and for what purposes individuals' personal data is handled.
The regulator said it considered the issues to be"a low level of seriousness" and noted Spotify, has taken steps to resolve them. The IMY determined the fine based on those factors along with Spotify's revenue and number of users. It noted that it made the decision with the help of other EU data protection authorities, given that Spotify has users in many countries.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
