Private Session

Private Session

How does listening to music while in private session specifically affect all the data collected and the playlists created by Spotify?

It's stated everywhere that it doesn't influence Your Discover Weekly playlist, but what about the oher playlists like Your Top Songs [by year], On Repeat or Wrapped?

Is time spent listening to specific songs/albums/artist while in private session taken in consideration for your Top Tracks/Album/Artist (both in the creation of playlists and in services  like replayify.com)?

Hey @user-removed, welcome to the community and thanks for the great question! Listening to music while in a private session should prevent those tracks form having any influence whatsoever on any of your Spotify generated taste based playlists, and it also should keep any other sites or services you use from accessing the tracks you play, such as last.fm or the Replayify example you mentioned. Hope that helps!
