Is It Safe?
While many Spotify users have hopped on using this App, do not be quick to log into the website and generate your chart. It is a plug-in that comes in as a third party and you have to give permissions for it to access your listening history.
The App has a private policy that states that it will have access to your one-month listening history, top twenty artists and music genres. It captures even the least listened-to music genre. It also has access to your user name.
Is it safe though? You need to make the judgement and then decide before allowing it to access the data. It however states that it has no access to your payment details so no one will drain your account.
Users have noticed that the App will also access your email, username, number of followers and profile picture which is against their private policy. If your data and ID are collected and violated, the private policy will not protect the owner of Spotify in a lawsuit.
There is no need to panic though, after you have collected your statistics through this Pie Chart, you can revoke the access through the security section in the Spotify App. This is how:
- Click on the Profile picture Icon, tap on Security and Privacy and tap Account.
- Click on Manage Apps
- Revoke the access of Music Pie Chart to your account by clicking Remove Access.
While the App is known as Spotify Pie, in reality, it is called Music Pie Chart and that is what appears in the App lists.
You could be potentially putting your private data at risk using this App. Always remove access to the Spotify App after processing your chart. Additionally, the tool will, by default, sign you up for their newsletter once you log in. If this is something that irritates you, skip using this tool.
There has been no evidence of personal data leaking through this App but it is good to take precautions to be safe. Weigh your options and make a decision based on the information in the article.
