Privacy
Your listening data never leaves your device.
That is the narrow, testable claim. The zip Spotify sends you is read inside this browser tab, and nothing in that file is transmitted to any server. You can check it yourself.
Alpha 1.0, last updated 30 August 2026.
Verify it in under two minutes
Open DevTools, go to Network, drop your file in, and confirm no outbound request carries your data. The full walkthrough is further down this page.

What the claim covers
What the claim covers
- The Spotify zip you drop into the upload area
- Every JSON play record parsed from that file
- The statistics computed from those records
- Any share card you export as an image
What it does not cover
What the claim does not cover
- Album art lookups, which send an artist and album name to Deezer
- The team status chips, which expose your IP to Lanyard, the Discord CDN and the GitHub avatar CDN
- Google AdSense, which funds the site and is the only one here that is not needed to make it work
- Browser storage that your own device controls
These five are the entire list, and each is named below. None receives anything about how much you listened.
Third parties
Named, not hidden
Every third party that receives a request when you use this site, named and explained. There are five.
-
01
Deezer
api.deezer.com
What it receives
An artist name and an album name, for the albums currently on your screen, so it can return a cover image. Never a play count, a timestamp or a total.
How to verify
Network tab, filter “deezer”. You can turn artwork off entirely in settings.
-
02
Lanyard
api.lanyard.rest
What it receives
Nothing about you. It is a public read endpoint that reports whether the two developers are online on Discord, for the contact chips. Like any request, it sees your IP.
How to verify
Network tab, filter “lanyard”. Blocking it only makes the chip show GitHub instead.
-
03
Discord CDN
cdn.discordapp.com
What it receives
Serves the avatar images for those same two chips. Static files only. Like any image host it sees your IP when the picture loads.
How to verify
Network tab, filter “discordapp”. No listening data is attached to the request.
-
04
GitHub avatars
avatars.githubusercontent.com
What it receives
Serves the developers’ profile pictures, which is what the chips show before Lanyard answers and what they keep showing if it never does. Static files only. Like any image host it sees your IP when the picture loads.
How to verify
Network tab, filter “githubusercontent”. It loads on every page, not only when Discord is unavailable.
-
05
Google AdSense
pagead2.googlesyndication.com, googleads.g.doubleclick.net, ep1 and ep2.adtrafficquality.google, www.google.com
What it receives
The advertising script loads on every page and, like any third party script, sees your IP and the address of the page you are on. It never receives your listening data, because that never leaves the tab for anyone. Personalised advertising in the UK and EEA is gated behind a consent choice you make before any ad is requested.
How to verify
Network tab, filter “google”. One entry is not enough here: the advertising script pulls from several Google hosts, and all of them are listed above because counting it as one line would have been the convenient answer rather than the true one. Filter “Streaming_History” at the same time and you will still get nothing.
Step by step verification
Step by step verification
1
Open DevTools
Press F12 on Windows or Linux, or ⌥⌘I on a Mac, then click the Network tab.
2
Clear and reload
Clear the request list and reload the page, so you see every request made on load.
3
Upload your file
Drop your Spotify zip onto the upload area and watch the list as parsing runs. No new domain should appear.
4
Filter and confirm
Type your name, or “Streaming_History”, into the filter. Zero results. The file stayed in the tab.
Everything that leaves this page
The whole trace
- Deezer artist and album name
- Lanyard nothing, it is a read
- Discord CDN two avatar images
- GitHub avatars two profile pictures
- Google AdSense your IP and the page address
- Your listening data never sent, to anyone
What stays on your device
What stays on your device
Your file is read into memory and turned into statistics. It is not copied to disk or stored, and closing or refreshing the tab discards everything, which is why you upload again each visit.
- Your light or dark theme choice
- The album-art cache, so a cover is not fetched twice
- Whether you dismissed the ad-blocker notice this session
None of it identifies you, and none of it is sent to us. There is no server that could receive it.
Advertising
Advertising
This site is funded by advertising rather than by charging you or gating any statistic.
When ad slots are live, the ad network may set its own cookies and receive your IP address and the page you are on, in order to choose an ad. That is disclosed here rather than buried.
It never receives anything from your Spotify file. Passing it along would mean transmitting the file to a server, which this architecture makes impossible.
