Amazon is a goldmine of deals and steals. But the site also has its downsides: It’s one of the biggest data-collectors in the world, and you can bet that they know everything about your browsing habits. If you’re anything like us, you may have grown suspicious of Amazon after discovering just how much information they have on their users.
They probably know what kind of underwear you prefer, what cereal you eat for breakfast every day, and every product you’ve ever considered buying from them. That said, it’s not like Amazon is evil or anything—they’re just a business that wants to make more money, which means knowing as much as possible about their customers. If this makes you uncomfortable, don’t worry! You can delete your order history from Amazon with just a few clicks.
How to See Your Order History on Amazon
If you want to know exactly what Amazon knows about your order history, you can go to your account and click “Your Account” in the top-right corner. From here, you can select “Order History” from the drop-down menu. This will take you to a page showing all your orders, their date, and the total amount you spent. While this page will show you exactly what Amazon knows about your purchases, you can’t use it to delete the information. If you want to do that, keep reading!
How to Delete Your Order History on Amazon
