How your data
is handled
Last updated: May 2026

Your Spotify files are never uploaded. They are processed exclusively in your browser and never sent to any server. However, this site uses third-party services (Netlify for hosting and Google AdSense for advertising) that independently collect certain technical data as described below.

⚠ Cookie consent required: Google AdSense places advertising cookies on your device. Under the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive, your explicit consent is required before these cookies are activated. A consent banner will appear on your first visit.

Data Controller

This site is intended for users aged 14 and over, in accordance with the GDPR.

This policy applies to all pages of this website, including the History Analyzer and Playlist Exporter sections.

Data Processed by This Site

The core functionality of this site — analysis of Spotify ZIP or JSON files — runs entirely within your browser. The files you load are never sent to any server; all processing takes place locally on your device and the data is discarded when you close or reload the page.

The only data this site stores on your device is your language preference and color theme (dark/light), saved in sessionStorage. This data is automatically deleted when the browser tab is closed and is never transmitted externally.

Hosting — Netlify

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (512 2nd Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). As with any web hosting provider, Netlify automatically processes certain technical data each time a page is accessed.

Data collected by Netlify includes: IP address (stored for up to 30 days in access logs), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and date/time of access. This data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests for security monitoring, DDoS protection, and service performance. Netlify complies with the GDPR and maintains Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for data transfers to the United States.

Advertising — Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google AdSense displays targeted advertisements and in doing so collects and processes personal data.

Google AdSense may collect: IP address, unique advertising identifiers (cookies), browser and device information, browsing behavior across websites, geographic location (derived from IP), and interaction data with advertisements. This data is used to serve personalized ads based on your interests and browsing history.

The legal basis for this processing is your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided via the cookie consent banner on your first visit. If you do not consent, only non-personalized ads will be shown (or no ads at all, depending on your settings).

You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time, and opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out. See also Google's Privacy Policy.
