Broad Affiliate and Third-Party Data Sharing

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliates. We also share personal information with third-party service providers that help us operate our business. Examples of the personal information we may share include contact details, payment and transaction details, and information about your interactions with our services. In addition, we may share information about you when you use third-party products and services that integrate with our services.

Why it matters

Your personal information flows to many entities beyond Amazon itself, including companies you may not be aware of, increasing the risk of data misuse, breaches, and secondary use of your data.

Consumer impact

Amazon collects an exceptionally broad range of personal data including voice recordings, precise geolocation, biometric-adjacent inferences, financial information, and detailed browsing and purchase history, and uses this data for advertising both on and off Amazon's platforms. This data is shared with Amazon's large network of affiliates, third-party sellers, and advertising partners, meaning your personal information flows well beyond Amazon's own services. You can opt out of interest-based advertising at amazon.com/adpreferences and review and delete Alexa voice recordings in the Alexa Privacy Settings within the Amazon app.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has enforcement authority over Amazon's third-party data sharing disclosures under FTC Act Section 5, particularly where sharing scope is inadequately disclosed to consumers.
