How to download the information that Spotify saves from us

The arrival of the new European data protection law means that companies have to share with us everything they know and have about us regarding data. Among the companies that provide us with this information is Spotify. We can download the data that the streaming service has stored about us.

How to download the information that Spotify saves from us

Below we are going to show you the steps that must be followed to download this information. You will see that they are very simple, although a part depends on the company (they have to send us the data). So its duration is variable.

Download the data that Spotify stores

First of all we have to go to the company's website and register with our username and password. You can access this link. In this way we will access our profile on Spotify. Once inside, we have a menu on the left side with several options, we must go to privacy settings.

In there you will see that one of the options that comes out is to download your data. There Spotify presents us with several steps, of which the first is to request. We click on them, complete a captcha and then we will get a notification on the screen. We have just asked the company to give us our data. Now, they are going to process this request. It is a process that could take up to 30 days, although it always takes less.

Once the necessary time has passed, Spotify will send us an email. They will tell us that the data is already available and we can access it. When we have seen this message, we must access our profile again and go to privacy and the data download section. Step 3 is now available. Simply click download.

With these steps we will already have on the computer the data that the well-known streaming service has from us. So, in addition to knowing it, you can take some actions in case there are things you want to change.
