Spotify has been trying for a long time to get its users from the Spotify Family not to violate the terms and conditions. You want to do that with a site survey.
If you want to use Spotify Family with others, they have to live in the same house as you, according to the terms and conditions of the service. However, many subscribers simply bypass this and share a family subscription with friends, so that everyone saves a little money. So you would not be 19,98 euros for two, but only a little less than 7,50 euros pro pay month. So why not?
While convenient for the end user, Spotify does not allow it. Man prohas been trying to minimize the number of violations of the terms and conditions for some time, but so far with little success. Now the streaming service wants to check the current location of family users from time to time to rule out abuse.
Spotify Family: Location data is encrypted
Spotify gets permission in updated terms of use to check the current location from time to time. Since this data is often very private, one or the other must now have data protection concerns. But the provider thinks that the data is encrypted and can be deleted from the Spotify servers by the user at any time.
It may take some time for these changes to take effect everywhere. Let's see if the condition for sharing the location also matches the new one Premium duo comes. Street: CNET
