Summary

This is Audible's privacy policy, which describes how Audible collects and uses personal data including account identifiers, payment information, device data, audiobook listening history, and location-related information. The policy authorizes sharing of personal data with Amazon affiliates, advertising and analytics partners, and third-party service providers, and permits use of listening and purchase history to personalize recommendations and advertising across Audible and Amazon platforms. California residents and EEA users are granted specific rights including data access, deletion requests, and opt-out of targeted advertising or data sale, subject to applicable state or national law.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document is the Audible Privacy Notice, governing the collection, use, storage, and sharing of personal information by Audible, Inc., an Amazon subsidiary, in connection with its audiobook and audio content subscription service. The notice states that Audible collects identifiers, contact details, payment information, device and usage data, content interaction history, and location-related data; the terms authorize sharing this information with Amazon.com and its affiliates, third-party service providers, advertising and analytics partners, and in connection with business transfers. The notice asserts broad data-sharing permissions with the Amazon affiliate network and authorizes use of listening history and content preferences for personalized advertising across Amazon and third-party platforms, which may warrant evaluation under applicable consumer privacy frameworks depending on jurisdiction. The notice engages CCPA/CPRA for California residents, GDPR for EEA users, and general FTC Act consumer protection principles; jurisdictional applicability of specific rights such as data deletion, opt-out of sale or sharing, and targeted advertising controls depends on the user's location and applicable regulatory enforcement context.
