Wondering if anyone has ever requested / checked / reviewed the data Amazon has collected on you?

I just did and it is more extensive than I had thought. They don't toss out ANYTHING!
Below are the file folders in the Zip file I just rec'd. These are the folders of data they had on file about me.

I'm attaching a File Description CSV file that sent with the data that gives the 58 file names and a description of the data contents. It is eye opening! All this personal data is available to each customer upon request.

If you are interested in seeing what data Amazon has on you personally, log into Amazon.com at this Data Request Link.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that they're collecting all this info on people. I'm sure it's somewhere in their TOS but who really reads all that?

I watched a video recently about Samsung Smart Tvs and all the info they collect on you (which of course is defaulted on) and how you can turn them all off. Everything you watch (or do if you're using the internet through yours) is collected and shared and I'd bet 90% of the people using their TVs have no idea about this.

Same goes for smart phones. For Apple iPhones there's some really good videos on YouTube by Payette Forward who is constantly updating on how to turn all this stuff off after each new update. I just changed over a dozen setting the other day and some were changed before but they defaulted them back on after one of their updates.
