Links in the email take users to a series of pages that state, “Spotify will only use your GPS data to verify your location and nothing else,” as well as an explanation on why the company is requesting such information. Even if your household only has 2 people in it, you'll save by getting the Spotify Premium for Family play, as opposed to both of you buying your own separate Spotify Premium accounts. In addition to Spotify’s narrow categorization of family, people are concerned about the music-streaming company asking for people’s GPS data to confirm their location, and about the implications this might have for privacy and security. Already have Premium If you already have Premium, your billing switches automatically - you don’t need to cancel anything. At 14.99/month the Spotify family plan is only 5/month more than the standard Spotify Premium plan (9.99/month). Some family members might live abroad, for instance, or have separated parents.
However, several users have pointed out on Twitter that living in the same home is not a prerequisite for being a family, nor should it be a point of contention when it comes to accessing family accounts. On its website, Spotify clearly states that the two to five people on each family plan must live at the same address. The email stated: “If you don’t confirm, you may lose access to the plan.”
Spotify recently sent an email to some of its “Premium for Family” account users in the US that asked them to confirm their home address through GPS data.
