That’s a US personal finance site, so is almost entirely useless to someone tax-resident in Australia: and I know I’d not listen to their podcast, so that’s a bit of a mystery. I thought that they might be based on music somehow, but I struggle to work out how.įinally, no idea what the Nerdwallet entry is for: perhaps that is marking me down as someone who followed a promotion within Spotify. The rest of these look like podcast categories that I’ve listened to. That would probably be true: a lot of my recent Spotify listening to podcasts has been checking my own (3m) podcast. I’m curious as to what the podcast-audience-segmentation-rules denote: it says that I listen on my mobile, which is correct, but “format length short” appears to have decided that I’d rather have shorter podcasts rather than longer ones, I suspect. It’s correctly noted that I use Spotify in the car.
It’s learnt (from the Bluetooth data) that I have a Toyota car and learnt from other things that I’ve Google speakers (and one device which is a Spotify Connect internet radio). So, the 1P_Custom values at the top are based on the devices that I’ve played music on. But there are a few interesting things in the data. I have also opted out of “tailored ads”, which probably means my data isn’t being matched with other databases (and I run quite fearsome blocking on most of my devices anyway). (I prefer YouTube Music, which appears to have better algorithms for giving me automated music mixes). I have used Spotify a little in the past for podcasts, but haven’t used it much over the last few months. I live in Australia, which is not a country within the GDPR and does not have particularly strong privacy laws. I’m a Premium subscriber, but use Spotify fairly sporadically. I was curious to see what was in it, so I went to have a look. If you ask Spotify’s website, it’ll send you a big ZIP file of “your personal data”.
Is Spotify all-knowing? Or just a bit boring? You can download a big data file from Spotify’s website with lots of detail about you.
