Amazon may know more about your health and family than you ever meant to share
Amazon may be building a surprisingly detailed picture of people’s lives, including health, family, and personal interests, even if they never knowingly agreed to share that much. The report says it is difficult or impossible for many people to fully stop this kind of data collection.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses Amazon services, shops on Amazon, owns Alexa or Ring devices, or lives in a household where those products are used may be affected.
What to watch for
Watch for highly specific recommendations, ads, or account settings that suggest Amazon knows personal details about your routines, household, or private interests.
What to do
Review your Amazon privacy, ad, Alexa, and Ring settings now, delete saved voice recordings and history where possible, and limit any data-sharing features you do not want turned on.
