How can I opt out of Apple Music data collection?

The Music app says I can choose what I share. But it also says:

"Apple collects information about your Apple Music activity, such as the songs you play and how long you play them, to personalize the service when you are subscribed, and compensate our partners."

Apple uses the information to do things like create your personalized station, recommend additional songs. If you have an Apple Music subscription, they also need to pay the rights holders of the music every time it's played.

There appears to be no way to disable this. Please tell me there is a way to disable this and how to do so! This feels like I can't use the app anymore now that it's no longer iTunes.

Find another application with a privacy policy you like better.

Nothing changed.

You’re not using Apple Music (the service), as differentiated from Apple Music (the app).

The text you quote refers to Apple Music (the service), and not to Apple Music (the app).

If you’d like the official details here, contact Apple Legal, and ask them to clarify this.

Otherwise, Apple Music (the app) works as did iTunes (the app).
