AI and Machine Learning Training Data Use

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

We use your information to improve our services, including using your interactions, purchases, and voice data to develop and train Amazon's artificial intelligence and machine learning models.

Why it matters

Using consumer data to train AI models is an emerging area of regulatory scrutiny globally, and consumers generally do not expect their personal interactions to permanently inform commercial AI systems, particularly without explicit consent.

Consumer impact

Amazon collects an exceptionally broad range of personal data — including voice recordings, precise location, biometric identifiers, financial information, and detailed behavioral profiles — across dozens of services and devices, and shares this data with third-party sellers, advertising partners, and affiliated companies who operate under their own separate privacy policies. Consumers who use Alexa or Ring devices should be aware that audio, video, and location data may be stored, reviewed by employees, and used to improve AI systems. You can access, correct, or request deletion of your data, and opt out of interest-based advertising, through Amazon's Privacy Central at amazon.com/privacy.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has issued guidance on AI and deceptive practices and has authority under FTC Act Section 5 to investigate AI training data use that was not adequately disclosed at collection.
