In plain English — Snapchat
Snapchat deletes chats by default within 24 hours and explicitly won't use your private messages for ads — two genuine privacy commitments. But it still builds a detailed advertising profile from your content, device, and activity, enriches it with data from advertisers, and can collect precise location and contacts if you grant permission.

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.
