6a. Spotify Data Practices

When you use the "Open in Spotify" feature in Pitch:

• No Personal Spotify Data Collected: Pitch does not access, collect, or store any data from your personal Spotify account.
• Pitch-Owned Playlists: Pitch creates public playlists using Pitch's own Spotify service account. These playlists contain music curated from your friends' weekly selections.
• Minimal Metadata Storage: We only store playlist identifiers and creation timestamps to avoid creating duplicate playlists. We do not store Spotify user data or listening history.
• Ephemeral Playlists: Pitch-owned playlists are periodically removed and are not stored indefinitely.
• Your Control: When you open a Pitch playlist in Spotify, any actions you take (following, saving songs, adding to your library) are governed by Spotify's privacy policy.

7. Children's Privacy

Pitch is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
