Amazon has been sued by consumers who claim the company secretly tracks their movements through cellphones and sells the information collected. A class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges Amazon accessed consumers' phones through a code provided to app developers, allowing the collection of vast amounts of geolocation data. These practices reportedly reveal sensitive details about users without their consent. The lawsuit seeks damages for affected consumers and reflects a growing concern over data privacy violations across the tech industry.
Amazon has effectively fingerprinted consumers and has correlated a vast amount of personal information about them entirely without consumers' knowledge and consent.
According to a proposed class action, Amazon’s code was embedded in other apps.
