Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 27, 2026

SpotifyTracked.com ("we", "us", or "the Service") is a public analytics dashboard that displays Spotify artist metrics such as monthly listeners, followers, streaming counts, and historical trends. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use SpotifyTracked.com, how it is used, and what choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 No Account or Personal Data

SpotifyTracked does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details. We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.

1.2 Analytics Data (PostHog)

We use PostHog, a product analytics platform, to understand how visitors interact with the Service. When PostHog is active, it may collect the following:

Before you choose a cookie preference, PostHog assigns an anonymous identifier in sessionStorage. It is limited to the current browser session and supports navigation continuity without analytics cookies or session replay. If you accept analytics cookies, the identifier may persist through localStorage and cookies and session replay may start. We do not link this identifier to information you submit because the Service has no user accounts.

1.3 Local Storage

The Service stores a small amount of data in your browser's local storage to improve your experience. This includes:

Theme, search, and navigation preferences stay in your browser. If you explicitly enable notifications, watched artist IDs, locale, and browser-provided push endpoint and encryption key material are sent to our backend so it can deliver alerts. No account or cross-device identity is created.

2. Cookie Consent

When you first visit SpotifyTracked, a cookie consent banner asks for permission before analytics cookies, persistent analytics storage, or session replay are enabled. Limited session-scoped PostHog analytics run before your choice and after rejection without setting analytics cookies.

You can change your preference at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of any page. If you withdraw consent, persistent analytics storage is cleared, session replay stops, and analytics return to session-scoped mode. A browser Do Not Track signal disables capture.

3. Cookies

SpotifyTracked itself does not set first-party cookies. If you accept analytics cookies, the PostHog SDK may set cookies in conjunction with localStorage to maintain session continuity. These cookies are used solely for analytics purposes and contain no personal information.

Third-party services loaded by the page (such as Google Fonts) may also set cookies or collect connection data according to their own privacy policies.

Your cookie consent preference is stored in your browser's localStorage under the key spotifytracked_cookie_consent.

4. Do Not Track

We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) signal sent by your browser. When DNT is enabled, PostHog analytics will not capture any data about your visit, regardless of your cookie consent preference.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on the following third-party services:

We do not sell, rent, or share any visitor data with third parties beyond the analytics described above.

6. Data Retention

We do not store any visitor data on our own servers. Analytics data collected by PostHog is retained according to PostHog's data retention policies. Local storage data in your browser persists until you clear it manually or clear your browser data.

An enabled anonymous push subscription remains on our server until you disable notifications, the browser endpoint expires, or it is removed during service cleanup. Successful notification fingerprints are retained in bounded form to prevent duplicate alerts.

7. Data About Spotify Artists

The metrics displayed on SpotifyTracked (monthly listeners, followers, streaming counts, artist biographies, etc.) are publicly available data sourced from third-party aggregators. This data relates to public artist profiles and does not constitute personal data of visitors to this site.

8. Children's Privacy

SpotifyTracked is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Since the Service does not collect personal information from any user, no special provisions for children's data are required.

9. Your Choices

10. Your Rights Under GDPR (European Economic Area)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Because SpotifyTracked does not collect personally identifiable information and analytics are anonymous, most of these rights are satisfied by default. If you accepted analytics cookies, you can withdraw consent at any time. If you have specific concerns, contact us at the email below.

Legal review notice: The legal basis and disclosure for session-scoped analytics, browser notifications, and other new browser storage are scheduled for review. Cookie-based persistent analytics and session replay remain tied to explicit consent.

11. Your Rights Under CCPA (California)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you certain rights regarding your personal information:

We do not sell personal information. SpotifyTracked does not collect personally identifiable information, does not create consumer profiles, and does not share data with third parties for monetary consideration. Analytics data collected via PostHog is anonymous and used solely to improve the Service.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@spotifytracked.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

12. International Data Transfers

Analytics data collected by PostHog may be transferred to and processed in the United States. PostHog maintains appropriate data protection measures in accordance with applicable regulations.

13. Security

We implement security best practices including HTTPS enforcement, strict Content Security Policy headers, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and other protective measures to safeguard the integrity of the Service and your connection to it.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. If we make material changes to how we handle data, we will reset cookie consent preferences so that you can review and re-consent under the updated policy. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
