Privacy Policy
Spotify Music Downloader is a free tool that runs at https://spotifymusicdownloader.org. This privacy policy explains what is recorded when you visit this website, why it is recorded, and the choices you have.
The scope of this policy is online activity on this website only. It applies to visitors here and to the information they share with, or that is collected by, this site. It does not cover anything you provide offline, and it does not cover any other website you reach through a link from here.
This site does not ask you to create an account, sign in, or give a name, postal address or payment details. There is no contact form on this site; the only way to write to us is by email.
By continuing to use this website you consent to this privacy policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any part of it, please stop using the site.
Server log files
Like most websites, this one follows the standard practice of keeping server log files. These files are created automatically by the web server every time a page, image or other file is requested, and they exist on practically every hosted website.
A log entry can record the following:
- The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device that made the request.
- The browser type and version, and the operating system your browser reports.
- The date and time stamp of the request.
- The page or file that was requested, including anything in the page address.
- The referring page, when your browser sends one.
- The response status and the number of bytes sent back.
These entries are not linked to any information that identifies you personally. They are used to administer the site: to understand traffic levels, to diagnose errors, to keep the service available and to detect abuse.
One point is worth spelling out. When you paste a Spotify link into the tool, that link is read and handled by your own browser, and it is placed in the address of the preview page. Because it forms part of a page address, it can appear in the ordinary server log entry for that request, in exactly the same way any other page address does.
Advertising partners
This website may display advertising supplied by third-party advertising networks. Those networks, not this site, decide which advertisement to show and how to measure it. Each of them has its own privacy policy, and you should read the policy of any network you want to understand in detail.
Third-party ad servers and ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript and web beacons in the advertisements they serve. When an advertisement is requested by your browser, the network receives your IP address automatically, because an IP address is required for any server to send a response back to your device. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns and to personalise the advertising you see.
This website has no access to and no control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.
Google is one of the vendors that may serve advertising on sites like this one. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to this site and to other sites on the internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google advertising and content network privacy policy at the link below.
A note on wording, so that nothing on this site is read as contradicting this page: other pages describe the downloading experience as free of advertising interruptions and free of charge. Those statements are about the download flow and about price. They are not a promise that no advertising is ever displayed anywhere on this website, and this section governs if the two are ever read against each other.
Third-party services your browser contacts
This tool has no back end of its own. The work happens in your browser, which contacts public services directly. That means those services see your request and your IP address, just as they would if you had typed their address into the address bar yourself.
The hosts your browser may contact while using this site are:
- open.spotify.com, for Spotify's public oEmbed endpoint, used to read the title and cover art of a link, and for Spotify's embedded player, which is loaded in a frame on the preview page.
- Spotify's image network, at addresses ending in scdn.co, where the cover art itself is served from.
- itunes.apple.com, Apple's public podcast directory, used to search for a show and list the episodes its publisher has made available.
- The website of a podcast publisher. When you download an episode, the MP3 file is fetched from whichever host that publisher distributes it from. Those hosts vary from show to show and are not under our control.
Each of these services handles your information under its own privacy policy and its own terms. Reviewing them is worthwhile if you want to know precisely what each one records.
Children's information
Protecting children while they are online matters, and parents and guardians are encouraged to observe, participate in, monitor and guide their children's activity on the internet.
This website does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. There is no registration, no profile and no form on this site through which a child could submit such information.
If you believe that a child has provided this kind of information on this website, please contact us by email immediately. We will use our best efforts to remove that information promptly.
Your consent and changes to this policy
By using this website, you consent to this privacy policy and agree to its terms.
This policy may be updated from time to time, for example if the advertising arrangements or the services the browser contacts change. Any update is published on this page, and the date shown at the top of the page is revised with it. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
Questions about this privacy policy, or a request relating to your information, can be sent to the email address below.
