Location Data Collection

What it is

We collect and use precise location information from your device to provide services such as delivery, local search results, and store services. You can control location access through your device settings.

Why it matters

Precise location data is among the most sensitive personal information — it can reveal where you live, work, worship, receive medical care, and more — and Amazon's collection of this data across its app ecosystem creates a comprehensive location history.

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
