Spotify
Spotify is a legitimate, well-established music streaming service with 9 verified trackers (Firebase Analytics, Google AdMob, Meta SDK, Branch Attribution, and others) and 5 dangerous permissions granted, including location and microphone access. While the app's core functionality justifies some permissions, the combination of ad-tech SDKs, location tracking, and metadata collection typical of a freemium service creates moderate privacy exposure.
