This is one of the less appreciated clauses of the GDPR: That companies are required to disclose data breaches within a reasonable time-frame, and users have the right to know about any exposure of their data.

Any particular reason? Seems like a reasonable thing for the GDPR to have.

They intentionally provide this information to marketplace sellers. It's arguably poor design but it's definitely not an unintentional security flaw. Marketplace/FBA sellers have talked about strategies for utilizing customer email address for years [1] [1] https://sellercentral.amazon.com/forums/t/how-to-access-all-...
Also, your Amazon profile is public by default, especially any wishlists.
An email address isn't secret, is it? It's sent back and forth in clear text through any number of relay servers. I consider my name and email address to be basically public information. Along with (unfortunately) my Social Security number. If Amazon exposed any data fields more sensitive than email address, I would call that stonewalling/covering up as TC seems to be implying.

When I started selling the first gadget I ever made on Amazon I was so excited and was only getting a couple sales a month. If you were one of my customers I looked at your house, judged your grass, found you on LinkedIn and Facebook, Instagram, mortgages, mugshots, everything lol. The sellers also get your full name and address even on fulfilled by Amazon. If you have been on the net long enough this will creep you…
It's super against Amazon's TOS for resellers to contact customers outside of Amazon controlled channels, but I never lost a lot of sleep over it, and dont think people were buying much 3PAR storage off amazon anyway.

I can also confirm, I can still see names and addresses, but not emails. Honestly any online retailer has to be trusted with this information, and in the fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) case, there are 3rd party sellers that have some unnecessary access to it. I personally don't actually need access to it since I do FBA exclusively.

Might not be best idea to use exact word amazon, have gotten this email before - > use of Amazon trademarked words, images, or reviews which may include variations or misspellings and this is a violation of our Trademark Guidelines > [...] > An example of the above violation can be found here: amazon@[mydomain]
I would be surprised if that was enforceable, it sounds more like an effort to ensure they're proactive about their trademark.
