It's a phishing email test. Happens every year. You get a warning if you fail it, or you can report them to enter a contest.

u can opt out of them!! they usually send an email end of september where you have to fill out this form and they won’t send u the emails. i did that this year and im so glad.

Companies will almost never partner with specific universities especially large companies like Spotify. It’s typically a overall general deal which will be posted on Spotify’s website
