Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my data when switching from YouTube Music?

No, most services allow you to export your data before closing your account. Follow the steps in our migration guide to safely transfer all your data to Spotify.

Is Spotify really more private than YouTube Music?

Yes, EU-based services like Spotify must comply with GDPR, which provides stronger privacy protections. Your data won't be subject to US surveillance laws like the CLOUD Act.
