I have noticed something similar with YouTube. I am logged into my YouTube account on my cell phone which I use quite a bit. Our smart TV has YouTube, but it is not logged into any account at all. But topics I search for on my phone or videos I watch on my phone will suddenly show up on the TV. I assume that, even though the TV is not linked to my account or ANY account, they do a certain amount of IP address matching. Amazon might be doing the same thing with you. I don’t know though—In my experience, Amazon is pretty specific about your search history. You can look at your search history and delete things from your search history. It seems odd to me that they would cross contaminate between accounts. Answer from 12-inch-LP-record on reddit.com

r/privacy on Reddit: I have my parents and my Amazon accounts on my device, why are our search histories and recently viewed showing up on both accounts?
January 26, 2024 -

Pretty much what the title says, my parents have prime and I don’t so I have their account on my phone. We are not in the same household, completely separate emails and such. They do not have access to my account.

When I search something or view something on my account, I notice it shows up on their account as well, and vice versa. I’m a 27 year old woman so I’d rather not have my parents see everything I look at or search (I might have searched up vibrators and damn near had a heart attack when I went to my parents account and first thing that popped up was a huge ribbed dildo saying “view again”, lol…). Anyway to stop this? And yes I have deleted the search history but I’d like to not have to do this everytime. Thanks in advance :)

How does Amazon know what I searched on another device? I'm not logged in.
Avoiding fingerprints is a double edged sword. If you're too good at it, that itself will become a fingerprint! As to how to prevent it, depends on how far are you willing to go. In your case, a vpn might be a simple solution. If you wanna go low key ham, spin up a cheap vps for your browsing session! Privacy is like an an arms race. A lot depends on your threat model.

r/privacy on Reddit: Amazon Browsing History / Reccommended Products
August 11, 2024 -

Hey all, I was making some purchases for myself on my own Amazon account while concurrently signed into my parent's account as well. When checking the browsing history of their fully separate account, it mirrored that of my personal account. Does this have to do with Amazon IP tracking my browsing history, cookies, or does the browsing history, alongside the recommendations on products, also extend to the other account? I am aware that another discussion similar to this one was made but didn't offer a straight-up answer.
