| Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] | We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and information. To protect our systems and information from cybersecurity threats, we use a variety of security tools and techniques designed to prevent, detect, investigate, contain, escalate, and recover from identified vulnerabilities and security incidents. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program and shares common methodologies and reporting channels that apply across the enterprise risk management program. Our Internal Audit & Risk team is principally responsible for facilitating our enterprise risk management program, in consultation with multiple functions at Spotify and reporting to the Audit Committee. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: •an Information Security Policy that articulates our information security practices and procedures to maintain confidence in our business and to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information we handle; •a dedicated Head of Security responsible for executing on relevant internal and external requirements and identifying appropriate technical and organizational measures to deliver information security in compliance with those requirements (in consultation with our Data Protection Officer who is responsible for advising on legal obligations with regard to personal data privacy); •a Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance team, led by our Head of Security, principally responsible for driving our cybersecurity risk management program, including a formal information security risk assessment on an annual basis; our risk remediations, prioritizations, and security safeguards; and risk awareness or education programs for employees relating to cybersecurity; •the use of both internal and external resources, such as assessors, consultants, and auditors, where appropriate, to assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls; •an external audit of our systems and environments in scope for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, including an external penetration test, on an annual basis; •a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for assessing, responding to, remediating, resolving, and conducting post-analysis of cybersecurity incidents; •cybersecurity training of our incident response personnel and senior management; •various monitoring and detection tools, including a bug bounty program, to assist us in regularly identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in our products and services; •a vendor assessment program designed to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks associated with our use of third-party service providers; and •contractual obligations on third-party vendors to report security incidents, risk identification, or other security-related issues promptly to Spotify. We and certain of our third-party service providers have been subject to cyberattacks and security incidents in the past due to, for example, computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, credential stuffing, and phishing attacks. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, because of our prominence, we believe that we are a particularly attractive target for such attacks, and we expect to continue to experience cyberattacks and security incidents in the future. See “Item 3.D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Operations—Failure to maintain the integrity of our technology infrastructure and systems or the security of confidential information could result in civil liability, statutory fines, regulatory enforcement, and the loss of confidence in us by our users, advertisers, content providers, and other business partners, all of which could harm our business” and “—Interruptions, delays, or discontinuations in service arising from our own systems or from third parties could harm our business.”
