Straight from the Electronic Privacy Information Center’s Web site: “EPIC has sent a letter to its subscribers notifying them that we will no longer have a formal relationship with
Amazon.com due to that company’s recent changes to its privacy practices. The EPIC Bookstore has been part of the Amazon Affiliates program since 1996 as
part of our efforts to make our publications as widely available as possible. The recent changes in Amazon’s privacy policy indicate that the online retailer
can no longer guarantee that the its customers’ personal information will not be disclosed to third parties. See the press release for more details.”
Read the letter. And the press release.
