Privacy Policy
Last updated: 07, 2025
Introduction
Napster Music Inc. and Rhapsody International Inc., and their subsidiaries and affiliates around the world (collectively, “Napster,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), appreciate your business and your use of our web sites, mobile applications and software, and other products and services (collectively, the “Services”).
This is our Privacy Policy. It explains what information we collect about you and how it is used when you use the Services, or when you otherwise interact with us. It also explains how the information is collected and what choices may be available to you to control the collection and use of your information. Please note that special terms may apply to you depending on the territory where you live (the “Relevant Territory”); these special terms are found at the end of this document.
By accessing and using the Services, or through your express agreement when requested, you accept this Privacy Policy and (a) agree and acknowledge that you have the power to enter into this Agreement (see the Minimum Age requirements in the Napster Terms of Use ), (b) consent to our collection, storage, and use of the information, as described in this document, and (c) affirm that you are familiar with and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and its limitations or qualifications, as modified from time to time. If you do not consent, you should not access or use the Services. As described below, our collection and use of certain information (such as access to your device’s contacts or photos) may require separate permission from you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this Privacy Policy – we hope it’s as much fun to read as it was to write!
Why do we collect information?
Napster collects information from you in order to provide an optimised and customised experience for you and all our users of the Services, and to enable us to provide the Services. The collection of this information is a contractual requirement pursuant to the Terms of Use, and failure to provide the necessary information may result in our inability to provide to you some or all of the Services.

When we no longer need to use your information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we cannot identify you. Unless you request that we delete it, we may retain information about users for at least two years after the deactivation of your account, so that you can re-activate your account and still have access to the same account, history, and preferences. Please note that information that others have shared about you is not part of your account and will not be deleted.

-
-
How Is Your Information Shared with Others?
Both Napster and you may sometimes make your information available to third parties in the specific situations described below. To the extent allowable by applicable law or Napster’s legal relationships with third parties, Napster is not responsible, nor does it assume responsibility, for any third party’s use of your information, or for the privacy practices of any third party (please note specific provisions for your territory (if any) at the end of this document).
-
Necessary Sharing with Napster Partners
Napster may share information about you with certain third parties such as our partners and apps, websites, and third-party integrations on or using our products. For example, our credit card processing partners require certain information in order to process your payment, and customer support contractors may require certain information in order to respond to your inquiries. In addition, under our content licences, we may be obligated to provide rights holders with anonymous information about how our users use and access content. Our partners are obligated to keep all personal information that they access confidential, and to use that information only for authorised purposes. We may also share your information with affiliate entities controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Infinite Reality, Inc.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: This category of sharing is necessary for us to provide the Services. If you do not consent to this sharing, do not access or use the Services.
-
Your Personal Profile
When you first use the Services, you are assigned a Napster profile, which you can use to discover and share music, and interact with other users. The default setting is that your Napster profile will be publicly accessible, but it will be anonymous (that is, it will not display your real name or any other personally identifying information). You can customise your profile by adding personal information like your name or a photo. You can choose whether your profile is public or private, and you may change between public and private as often as you wish.
-
IF YOUR PROFILE IS PUBLIC: The information in your profile (which includes any personal information you have provided, your interactions with other users, and information about the music you listen to) will be accessible to other people, including people who are not users of the Services. Others may search for your profile if they have your username or screen name, real name, or email address (though we won’t provide your real name or email address to anyone who has not already shown that they know it by providing it to us). If you customize the information in your public profile, you may be asked to confirm that you wish it to remain public, and you may become identifiable to others. You grant us and our partners permission to use public information associated with your profile (including the fact that you have a public Napster profile) to promote and improve the Services or to help others (whether users of the Services or not) to find you and learn that you use the Services.
-
IF YOUR PROFILE IS PRIVATE: Your profile and all of the information associated with it will be completely hidden from all other people, and we will not use your information for promotional purposes. You will not, however, be able to use certain features or functionalities of the Services.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: You may choose whether your profile is public or private. If you make it private, your profile and content will essentially be invisible and undiscoverable to others, but you will be unable to use certain features of the Services. If you leave your profile public, you can choose whether and how to customise your profile with additional information, or to interact with other users.
-
-
Interactions with Other Social Networks
The Services may offer tools that enable you to integrate your Napster account with a third-party social network (such as a Facebook “Like” button, or an X “Post” button). These features let you share information from the Services with your friends, the public, or other third parties. For more information about the purpose and scope of how these features collect and share data, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: If you use social sharing features, you should check the privacy policies of the applicable third-party social networks to learn how your information is collected, processed, stored, and used.
-
Information Received from Third Parties
Napster may also receive your information from third-party partners, services, or advertisers to facilitate the selection of your content preferences. The third party’s use of this information is governed by the third party’s own privacy policy, and Napster’s use is governed by this Privacy Policy.
If you subscribe to the Services through a third-party Partner, such as a telephone carrier or device manufacturer, that Partner may provide to us information that you disclosed to them, in order for us to be able to better provide the Services to you. In that case, the information we receive from the Partner will be governed by this Privacy Policy as though you had provided it to Napster directly.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: You should consult the privacy policies of the third-party entities you share your information with to understand how they will use it and share it with Napster.
-
The Napster API
The Napster API is an interface with which other people may interact with Napster information and make use of it in new and interesting ways. If your profile is public, third parties may access information about you that is contained on your public profile through the Napster API, including your connections within the Services, and other information about how you use the Services.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: The Napster API will have access to and make available the full range of public information about you. You may revoke the Napster API’s access to information about you by making your profile private, at which point the Napster API will cease to make information about you available.
-
Cookies and Web Beacons
Napster uses cookies, web beacons, and related technologies. Cookies are fragments of text stored on your web browser. Web beacons are often transparent image files (also called pixels) that track usage of a particular web page. Temporary and persistent cookies and web beacons may be placed on your browser or device when you use the Services, in order to perform various functions, including allowing a page to recognize you when you return, anonymously aggregating usage information for analytical purposes, storing preferences, sharing information with third parties, and delivering relevant advertisements. Some cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and others will always be used. They may be placed by Napster or our partners. These cookies and web beacons may be used for the following purposes:
- To allow you to stay logged in to the Services and to recall your subscription level.
- To monitor traffic on and usage of our site and understand traffic patterns, collecting the IP address, browser, and operating system you use to access the site, date and time of access, the pages you visited and the page from which you arrived on our site.
- To compile and report to third parties (like advertisers) aggregated statistics about our users in terms of numbers, traffic patterns, and information related to the site.
- To register you on our service and recall your preferences.
- To provide, protect and improve the Services, including by personalizing content and features, tailoring and measuring advertisements, and providing a safer experience.
- To recognize repeat visitors for statistical or analytical purposes.
- To anonymously track interactions with online advertisements, for example, monitoring the number of times an ad appears and the number of times it is clicked.
- To authorise access to certain premium content or to test product features.
- Along with additional information we collect from elsewhere, to carry out transactions, such as credit card sales.
- To understand the information we receive about you.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: By agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you consent to the use of the technologies described above. However, you do have control over them. Most web browsers can be set to remove or reject browser cookies (this could affect the availability and functionality of the Services). Some third-party flash cookies must be disabled separately. While you cannot opt out of web beacons used in websites, you can limit their use by opting out of the cookies they interact with. There are many helpful resources on the Internet where you can learn more about cookies and how to control them.

Advertising and Analytics Services
We may allow others to (i) serve content and advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and (ii) to provide analytics services. These third-parties may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites, including your IP address, device ID, web browser, pages viewed, time spent on pages, content accessed, activity and location over time, links clicked, and conversion information, as well as personal information you have provided, such as demographic and geographic information. This information may be used by Napster and others to, among other things, analyse and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests or location, and better understand your online activity. In doing so, it may be combined with information from other sources (“Information”).
This information may be used by Napster and others for analytics purposes which includes analysing and tracking data, determining the popularity of certain content, and better understanding your online activity (“Analytics Services”). In doing so, it may be combined with information from other sources.
The Information may also be used by third parties to deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests or location. We or a third-party data partner may collect, store and share a unique identifier matched to your mobile device, in order to deliver customised ads or content while you use applications or surf the internet, or to seek to identify you in a unique manner across other devices or browsers (“Advertising Services”). In order to customise these ads or content, we or a third-party data partner may collect and share anonymized information about you (received from third parties) either to data you have voluntarily submitted to us, like your email address or location, or to data we have collected from you, including your device identifier or IP address. This information will only be shared with these partners in aggregated, hashed, and/or non-human-readable form, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
To opt out of Advertising cookies, please update your cookie settings at www.napster.com/cookie-settings.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: You may opt out of the cookies described above by updating your cookie settings at www.napster.com/cookie-settings. Analytics services are essential to provide the Service to you. As such, in order to opt out of Analytics Services you must cancel your subscription to the Service. Additional country-specific resource pages can be found in the Territory-Specific Information section below.

Artificial Intelligence:
We may use generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology and machine learning (ML) (which may include AI technology and ML that enables users to engage with our Services via audio, visual and/or text chat, including without limitation through agentic AI and uses of avatars) to enhance and improve the Services, including to create new products and services, improve functionality of existing products and services and develop new features. We may also use aggregated or pseudonymized information to train our AI technology to evaluate, provide, protect and improve our Services. We may contract with third parties to provide certain AI-related services (e.g., Google to use Gemini AI and other Google products such as Gemini Pro/Flash and Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure for AI solutions). This technology is still experimental and evolving. To help with quality and to improve our products and those of our third-party providers, human reviewers may read, annotate, and process your AI interactions. Please do not enter or provide confidential information or personal information in your conversations or any data, including images, you would not want a reviewer to see or a third party we contract with (e.g., Google or Microsoft) to use to improve its and our products, services, and machine-learning technologies. Third parties use and process your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies for the third-party services we use. Please review the privacy policies for these third-party service providers.
We may also use AI and ML for your entertainment in some of our features. AI and ML are rapidly evolving fields of study and are limited by the data they are trained on. Given the imperfect nature of ML, use of these features may result in incorrect or biased information and responses that do not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. By using these features, you acknowledge the imperfect and rapidly evolving nature of AI and ML, and understand such features are for entertainment purposes only.

How Can You Control Your Napster Account?
-
Account Information
You may update, correct or deactivate your account information at any time by logging into your account online or on our apps, or by contacting us at help@napster.com. (If you log into the Services using your credentials from a third-party service, however, you may need to access that service to update your Napster account.) Deactivating your account will stop all new collection of information. Please note, however, that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, as described above.

How Is Napster Keeping Your Information Safe?
The security of your information is important to us. Napster uses industry-standard methods, such as encryption and access restrictions, to protect you and to ensure that the information we collect is safe from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee the security of your information. You can help by securing your Napster account with a strong password, and not sharing your account information with others.
Your information may be collected, transferred, stored, processed, or used (collectively, “Accommodated” or “Accommodate”) in various locations around the world, which may not be in the country or Relevant Territory where you reside. The data protection, privacy and other applicable laws, rules and regulations in the territories where we Accommodate your information may apply to your information, and may be different from those in the Relevant Territory where you live. Due to this, different standards of protection of your information may apply, depending on the relevant jurisdiction in which your information is Accommodated. We (and the third parties we work with) implement procedures to provide reasonable levels of data protection when we store and process your information. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you consent to all aspects of the Accommodation of your information in other territories. To the extent permissible in the Relevant Territory where you live, by using the Services, you waive whatever right you may have to ensure that your information is Accommodated in a particular territory.
Children
Napster is committed to the protection of the privacy and safety of children. Pursuant to our Terms of Use , you must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in the territory where you live, whichever is higher) to create an account, and at least 13 years old (or the legal minimum in the territory where you live, whichever is higher) (the “Minimum Age”) to use the Services. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the Minimum Age. Do not submit any personal information of anyone under the Minimum Age to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from someone under the Minimum Age, we will take measures to promptly delete that information. Please contact us at privacy@napster.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected such information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may, at our sole discretion, change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy, and for significant changes, we may provide you with additional notice (such as by sending you a notification) or ask you to explicitly accept the new version of this Privacy Policy. Any changes will become effective the day after notification. If you object to any of the changes, you may terminate your account and stop using the Services. If we do not ask you to explicitly consent to the changes, your continued use of any Service or your explicit consent following a change will constitute your binding acceptance of the change.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU: We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy whenever you access or use the Services to stay informed about our information practices, any new changes or related advances, and the ways you can help protect your privacy. If you object to changes we make to this Privacy Policy, you may terminate your account and stop using the Services.

Before you register for an account and use the Services which are available to registered users, you must explicitly consent to this Privacy Policy. Except to the extent that our use of your personal information is necessary to provide you with the Services or for billing purposes or applicable law permits our processing of your information without your consent, you may revoke any consent to process your information in the future or object to a specific use of your information (such as for advertising or market/opinion research). At your request, we will also confirm what personal information we hold about you, update or correct your information, remove your information, and fulfil specific opt-out requests. To make such a request, please contact privacy@napster.com.

You may contact our data protection team at dataprotection@napster.com.
Napster may transfer, store, and process your personal information outside the EEA, including the United States of America. Some non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of such countries may be accessed at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html ). Where your personal information is to be shared outside the countries considered adequate by the European Commission, we take measures to ensure appropriate levels of protection for all such information. This transfer may occur because it is necessary to enable the Services you request, pursuant to contracts in your interest or at your request, or for other legitimate operational and management reasons. By accepting this Privacy Policy and using the Services, you consent to this transfer. -
