In plain English — Reddit
Reddit collects your behaviour, device data, and inferences about your demographics, and shares some of it with ad-tech partners — but it explicitly doesn't sell your personal data, deletes IP addresses after 100 days, doesn't track precise location, and extends privacy rights to all users worldwide, not just those in regulated regions.

Spotify tracks everything you listen to, infers your interests from your behaviour, and feeds that data into a broad advertising machine — including third-party ad partners who send them data about you too. Controls are better than most, but your listening history is kept for the life of your account with no way to stop it.
