Like everything else these days, Amazon is keeping tabs on us.
.

And while I know they keep records of purchases, I was unaware of the detailed profile they amass on customers.

Naturally, I checked mine.

Now some of those are easy to extrapolate from my buying history. But walks barefoot all the time? How the heck does Jeff Bezos know that!
And while it’s true I prefer it, I’ve never bought artisan jewelry from Amazon… so that’s troubling.
But the next section did make me feel a little better about their omnipotent all seeing eye.

Because while I do have a cat, I most certainly don’t have a sister.

I was happy with Amazon’s errors. The spoopy “how did they know?” items freaked me out! Odd that it didn’t have the barefoot one for me – maybe because I’ve bought lots of fuzzy socks (as gifts).
Did we discuss the fairly new revelation that Apple watches are always listening and transcribing EVERYTHING that they hear?? Transcribing is somehow not considered “recording” and is therefore legal.

Same. And now I want to tell anyone wearing one to cover it while I’m around.

I got surprised by them this morning too! I was putting in an online order to Walmart and a pop-up from Amazon informed me that they had the same item almost two dollars cheaper. Feels invasive, but good to know…I guess.

Helpful, but intrusive.
It’s a fine line…

I”m guessing they read this and are updating their records now. More cat toys, fewer birthday cards for “Sis”

I guess I am safe, I have never purchased anything on Amazon, but I know Gail has purchased things in my name on my credit card, so they probably have a strange image of me, as well as a full image of her. I will let her know tomorrow, when she gets home from her mother’s dental surgery. I do not promise to report her reaction. We will see.

I see Amazon as a necessary evil. During early COVID it was sometimes the only source for items no longer on store shelves. And with the cost of factory it’s hard to argue with having something delivered instead of driving 50 miles to find it.
