Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

You can access, update, or delete certain information about your account and your interactions with Amazon services by visiting Your Account. You can also request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. California residents and individuals in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland have additional rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain their personal information.

Why it matters

Knowing your rights to access and delete your data is essential to controlling what Amazon knows about you — but exercising these rights requires navigating multiple settings pages and may not result in complete deletion from all systems.

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
    Log into your Amazon account and go to Privacy Central. Select 'Request My Data' to download a copy of your personal information, or 'Request to Delete Your Data' to submit a deletion request.
  • Delete Your Data
    Log into your Amazon account, visit Privacy Central, and select 'Request to Delete Your Data'. Follow the prompts to specify which categories of data you want deleted.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    California's CPPA and state AGs in states with comprehensive privacy laws have enforcement authority over Amazon's data subject rights fulfillment obligations.
