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. 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.
