https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Developer-Policy-clarification/m-p/7553618#M22065 <P>Hi everyone,<BR />I’m developing a free, non-monetized iOS project and would like to clarify some Developer Policy requirements before public release.<BR />Could a Spotify staff member or moderator advise whether this board is the appropriate place to ask about the following scenarios, or direct me to an official private channel?<BR />- Section III.5. Music-service selection: Supporting more than one music provider while each user plays tracks exclusively through their chosen provider’s official APIs/SDKs. A shared track reference may originate from one provider and be resolved to an equivalent track on the listener’s selected service. Audio is not downloaded, rehosted or mixed.<BR />- Section III.2. Preference polls: Asking users which of two tracks they prefer, without prizes or any form of rewards.<BR />- Section III.13. Listening-data comparisons: Whether comparing consenting users’ listening activity is permitted, and whether comparing only tracks they explicitly choose to share would be treated differently.<BR />- Disconnection and deletion: How the deletion requirements apply to user-created posts containing Spotify-derived track references and related comments or reactions from other users.<BR />My purpose is to understand the requirements and adjust the implementation accordingly. I’m keeping project-specific details out of this public post, but can provide relevant information through an official private channel if needed.<BR />Pointers to existing official explanations would also be appreciated.<BR />Thank you.</P> Sat, 12 Sep 2026 22:10:52 GMT -cje7yf_f8mmm 2026-09-12T22:10:52Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Developer-Policy-clarification/m-p/7553618#M22065 <P>Hi everyone,<BR />I’m developing a free, non-monetized iOS project and would like to clarify some Developer Policy requirements before public release.<BR />Could a Spotify staff member or moderator advise whether this board is the appropriate place to ask about the following scenarios, or direct me to an official private channel?<BR />- Section III.5.
