Customer data visible at Amazon

Responsible body: Amazon
Type of data breach: customer data such as e-mail and name visible in reviews on Amazon
Customer data such as e-mail addresses and names should have been visible at Amazon. Affected persons from Germany reported that e-mail addresses and first names and surnames were published in reviews of products on Amazon. So far it is unclear how long the error persisted.
Categories of data concerned: Names and e-mail addresses
Legal classification: Too few details known
Practical tip: Amazon has apparently informed its customers about the data breach. If you are affected by a data breach, ask your supervisory authority whether it is subject to reporting requirements and whether and in what form the affected parties must be informed.
