About Apple Music web player & Privacy

Privacy Icon

  • Apple Music web player collects information associated with a unique identifier that is specific to the domain of the page you visit, if you are not signed in to Apple Music. If you are signed in to Apple Music, the identifier is consistent across all pages in which the player loads.
  • These identifiers last for one day and are not linked to your Apple ID.
  • If you are signed in to Apple Music in your browser and interact with the player (e.g. play music), we collect the same information as when you use the Music app on your device or desktop along with the domain of the page.

Protecting the privacy and security of your information is a priority for everyone at Apple. We work hard to collect only the data we need to make your experience better, and when we do collect data we believe it's important for you to know what we’re collecting and why we need it, so you can make informed choices. Apple Music web player, like every Apple product, is designed with these principles in mind.

When you visit a website with an embedded Apple Music web player, Apple collects, in a privacy-preserving manner, limited information about where the player is embedded and how you interact with it, to understand how the player is used and improve the player experience. While the player may be embedded in third-party web pages, the player is served by Apple, and therefore Apple is able to collect information about where and how the player is used. This document applies only to Apple’s collection, use, and disclosure of information. The web pages you visit that embed the web player may also separately collect information about you, and that information will be governed by their own policies and practices.

To collect this information, we may use cookies, or similar local storage technology, to store website data on your device in your web browser profile. Learn how to manage cookies and website data in the Safari web browser Apple Music & Privacy.

All of this information is collected and used in accordance with our privacy policy, available at www.apple.com/privacy.
