Privacy Policy

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their information is being used. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your information.

What personal information do we collect from the users?

SpotMyStatus connects your Slack and Spotify accounts and syncs them. To do so, very granular and minimal permissions are requested.

From Spotify SpotMyStatus requests user-read-playback-state scope. As a result, the app has a permission to

• Read user's name and username, profile picture, how many followers user has on Spotify and their public playlists - default permission when access token is requested
• Read access to a user's player state - to check if user is currently playing a track
• Read user's currently playing content and Spotify Connect devices information - to get current track and currently connected devices, so that user can pick devices to sync from

From Slack SpotMyStatus requests

• bot scopes
  • chat:write: Send messages as @spotmystatus
  • commands: Add slash commands that people can use, e.g. @spotme
• user scopes
  • users:read: View profile details about people in a workspace. Necessary to get required information about user, e.g. user's presence, status and timezone
  • users.profile:read: View a user's profile information, including their custom status
  • users.profile:write: Edit a user’s profile information and status

How do we use your information?

Information requested is purely used to synchronize status and nothing else

How do I add this to my Slack?

You should visit SpotMyStatus home page and click the large button. You will be first redirected to your Slack workspace and then to your Spotify account to give SpotMyStatus necessary permissions

How do we protect your information?

Both application and the data are hosted by Amazon Web Services. They are protected by AWS security standards. Additionally, there is an extensive monitoring and alarms set in place to detect any suspicious activity

What data does SpotMyStatus store?

SpotMyStatus is built to store a minimal amount of information from a Slack workspace. To make the service work, we store:

• Slack access token
• Spotify refresh token
• User's timezone to detect user's work hours
• User's spotify devices to ignore tracks playing from excluded devices

Finally, contents are not shared with any third parties in any way.

How do I get my data deleted according to GDPR regulations?

There are several ways to delete your data in your Slack workspace

• Call the command @spotme purge
• Invoke a SpotMyStatus window via @spotme command and click the purge button
• Open SpotMyStatus Home tab and click the purge button

You can remove SpotMyStatus from your Slack workspace completely in Slack's Manage Apps tool.
