Changes to Spotify privacy policy and Vodafone contract
I'm a reasonably content Vodafone customer, but an unhappy Spotify customer.
Yes I understand that though the recent changes to Spotify's terms & conditions won't actually grant them unfettered access to my phone unless I grant them access on a case by case basis (photos, contacts etc) I still think it's a bit cheeky and don't forget these T&C's do theoretically constitute a legal contract.
I also think their response of "if you don't like it you can stop using our service" is a bit scummy, and if they're saying that now who's to say that in the future they won't hobble the app if I don't give them access to the areas they desire?
So I've got Apple music now and after some experimentation it seems "good enough" and I'm ready to stop using Spotify's service. But the problem is, my subscription is paid through my Vodafone bill.
What does this mean in terms of my contract with Vodafone? I know from other discussions that if a service provider changes their T&C's within a contract period you're entitled to opt out of that contract.
But what if, as part of that contract the service provider provides you with a service through a third party (in my case Spotify) who's T&C's change? Does that also have a follow-on effect on my contract with Spotify?
Ultimately what I want is to keep my Vodafone subscription "as is" except for the Spotify bit, but at the same time if Vodafone won't do that for me am I entitled to walk away from my contract?
