Is Spotify player safe?
Spotify player stores your Spotify access token and uses it to read playback state and private playlists.
When you sign in, Spotify player requests Spotify permissions for playback state, playback control, private playlists, and collaborative playlists, then saves the OAuth access token in Chrome sync storage. It sends that token to api.spotify.com to read the current playing track and playlists and to make playback-control requests.

Where it sends data
