How to stop Amazon training AI on your data
What the policy itself says, plan by plan. Where Amazon publishes the steps, they're here in its own words, read from an archived copy of the page that gives them. Where it doesn't, this page says so instead of inventing a menu path.

Amazon sells an AI assistant, runs one of the largest model-training businesses in the world, and holds the purchase history of a substantial share of the country. Its consumer privacy notice contains no form of "train", no "machine learning", no "artificial intelligence" and no bare "AI". Whether any of what it lists is used to build a model is not a question this document takes up. Two things a careful reader will find. The nearest language in the notice is a legitimate-interests clause covering "when we use your voice, video, or camera input to improve services" — improvement of services from Alexa and Ring-class input, which is the boilerplate this site declines to grade on, and which never names a model. And the notice links onward, in a list of further notices, to a "Generative AI Development Disclosure". Amazon's help pages answer 403 or 503 to every automated reader this site has, and the Internet Archive holds no copy, so the disclosure was saved by hand on 10 September 2026 and is not re-read automatically. It is about the datasets behind Amazon's generative AI services: "licensed and proprietary datasets, synthetic datasets, open-source datasets, and publicly available content (including web crawled data)", which "may contain public domain content, rights-protected material, and in some cases, personal information or aggregate consumer information". Whether your orders, searches or recordings are among the proprietary data it trains on is the one thing neither document says, so the finding stands.
