    I didn’t see any summary. I just saw likes and dislikes. I share the account with my father. So it’s kind of funny to see the likes and dislikes, because we are very different people.

    They know I have a filtration system and enjoy comedy. That’s my whole personality right there!

    After shopping a lot from them for 22 years now, what a letdown:

    About you

    We haven’t saved anything yet. As you shop on Amazon or chat with Alexa, we’ll save helpful information to personalize your experience.

    Mine just says I like analog and vintage photography stuff and lacy and shiny clothes. Neither of which are very shocking.

      Yeah, mine was just wrong. It says “likely lives in name of vacation spot,” even though I went there just twice this year and had some stuff shipped. The rest of the site knows my actual address but this “about me” section doesn’t.

    “Established spice collection building”, What? The only thing I can think of that would contribute to this is I got Orange Blossom water once, and canisters for loose tea. I haven’t even gotten a coffee or spice grinder, not even a pepper mill.

    Amazon is definitely going to plug that hole.

      It’s not a hole they see it as a service. You can even give feedback on their notes about you.

        Yeah they have removed it - between when I looked at it on my phone this morning while procrastinating about getting out of bed and now it has been removed from the UK website - the below link still works (modified to .uk)
