Just found Amazon logs details about kids
After requesting a Amazon Data Download I found the folder stats" folder Devices.Kindle.FreeTime.zip (the account had a Kindle HD tablet) inside it are logs on kids.
Doing a grep search across the entire directory of all downloads returns

"min_age",
"max_age"

"is_prime",
"is_free_trial",

They also track when you click play pause or skip on audio, how long it was played, what you like and dislike, provide a negative or positive value on tracks and record every single tap. (seriously look at! Kindle.Devices.HomePage.Actions.Ereader.csv ) also logged is the time you add or delete a wifi network (Profile Delete Confirmation) and just hundreds and hundreds of logs.
amazon also saves a recording and audio transcript of everything you ask with a corresponding ID to the recording.
Take a look at Amazon history if you have an account. Request your data and go through it on linux it's pretty mind-blowing.
- dflock 4y agoThis isn't very surprising? Logging the kids ages is presumably for accessing content that's age restricted.
- dekhn 4y agoSo what? This is how the Internet works.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoThis is pretty much complete surveillance of the device. I have a kindle myself. Should have used another device. Pircacy of ebooks doesn't have the problem and it might be time to go back to that until behavior changes.
