This Privacy Policy explains what information My Top Spotify (hereafter known as MTfS) collects about its users, and what we do with that information. This policy applies only to analytics obtained through your use of MyTopSpotify.io.
MyTopSpotify.io is a web application designed simply to easily access and display the information supplied from the Spotify Web API.
By using this service, you are also bound by Spotify's Privacy Policy.
When you log in, we receive the basic information about your account we require to facilitate the app functionality. This information is temporarily stored to allow you to reauthenticate more easily after a session expiry, and will be deleted within 12 hours of you leaving the app.
Further requests to this API are made by your web browser and therefore do not pass through the servers hosting MyTopSpotify.io, meaning we have no access to your music data.
Like most website operators, MTfS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how MyTopSpotify.io's visitors use our website.
MTfS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
We do not use such information to identify our visitors, however, and this information is anonymised before being presented to administrators, and will never be disclosed to persons outside of those working on MTfS.
Users do not create new accounts with our MyTopSpotify.io because our web application uses Spotify's Single Sign-On (SSO).
When users log in with their Spotify account to use MyTopSpotify.io, we only use a limited set of data to provide our services, namely:
During the login process, MyTopSpotify.io obtains user's consent to access the specified above data from Spotify.
The data retrieved from the user's Spotify account is exclusively used to provide our services.
MyTopSpotify.io does not store users' information longer than 12 hours of users leaving the app. The data previously collected is then deleted.
Users should log in with Spotify every time they wish to use MyTopSpotify.io.
If users want to revoke the My Top For Spotify application from the access to their Spotify accounts, they should follow the process described here: https://support.spotify.com
Certain aspects of MyTopSpotify.io have facilities to collect personal information for a specific purpose.
For example, in our contact form. This information is only stored for the purpose of responding to contact form submissions, and will never be disclosed to any persons outside of MTfS. Visitors are able to refuse to supply this information by not using our contact form and getting in touch with us through other means.
Information collected from visitors to MyTopSpotify.io is collected, processed and stored by our website administrator. This information will not be sent elsewhere and will only be accessible to those working on MTfS.
MTfS may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to our website. For instance, we may reveal how many visits a particular page got, a breakdown of the type of device used to access MyTopSpotify.io, or anonymised geographical information in the form of country or region, for example, the United Kingdom.
We use Plausible Analytics on our website. This web analytics service is provided by Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403, Tartu, Estonia, Registration number 14709274.
Plausible Analytics is privacy-friendly web analytics that does not track, collect cookies or store personal data or personally identifiable information and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
We use a self-hosted version of Plausible Analytics hosted on Linode cloud infrastructure in Dallas, US.
For further information on Plausible Analytics's GDPR, CCPA and cookie law compliance and all the data points they collect, please refer to their data policy at https://plausible.io/data-policy
MyTopSpotify.io may use third-party advertising companies to serve programmatic ads when you visit our web application.
These advertising companies may use information about your visits to MyTopSpotify.io and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
These advertisements may appear on our Web Application and on other websites. These companies may employ cookies, clear GIFs and other tracking technologies to cause relevant ads to be displayed to you.
We may use Google Analytics on our website. This web analytics service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Web Application, please refer to https://policies.google.com
Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov Google Analytics guarantees it will follow the EU's data protection regulations when processing data in the United States.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyse how our website is used. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para.1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in our Web Application's analysis, optimisation and economic operation.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your visits to our Web Application, will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US.
Google Analytics uses the data collected in this way to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our Web Application and what visitors do once there.
This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general.
Google Analytics states that it will not connect your IP address to other data.
In addition, Google Analytics provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at https://policies.google.com, including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.
In addition, Google Analytics offers an opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com in addition to further information.
This add-on can be installed on the most popular web browsers and offers further control over the data that Google Analytics collects when you visit our Web Application.
The add-on informs Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics.
However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
MyTopSpotify.io avoids using cookies itself, except in regards to the tracking opt-out above. This cookie does not store any identifying information about visitors, and simply informs us if a visitor does not wish to be tracked.
If you would like to opt-out of tracking without accepting this cookie however, you can use the 'Do Not Track' feature of your browser.
In line with Spotify's Privacy Policy, we do allow third parties to place Cookies on visitor browsers in order to collect information about browsing activities. These are managed by Spotify and are outside the control of MTfS.
For any concern or complaints about the manner in which we have collected or handled your personal information, please advise us in writing by visiting our Contact Us page.
Your concern or complaint will be considered or investigated, and we will endeavour to respond to your complaint within 30 days.
It is our intention to use our best endeavours to resolve any complaint to your satisfaction.
However, if you are unhappy with our response, contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, who may investigate your complaint further.
This Privacy Policy is effective from August 8th, 2024 and may be updated from time to time. You can obtain a copy of the latest version at any time at https://mytopspotify.io/privacy
