Amazon investigates the sale of confidential data




"We have zero tolerance for the misuse of our systems," explains the company to this newspaper, in relation to the alleged sale of internal data carried out by some employees


Amazon investigates several allegations that some of its employees sold confidential customer data to third-party companies, particularly in China, according to the company's acknowledgment on Monday.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which does not give figures, the employees of the internet trading giant sell internal data and other confidential information, usually through intermediaries, to merchants who sell their products on the US giant's website. At Amazon customers can buy products sold directly by the company along with products from many other merchants.

The practice under investigation is a violation of company policy. It occurs particularly in China, the paper said, citing the example of Shenzhen intermediaries working for group employees selling information on sales volumes for payments ranging from $ 80 to more than $ 2,000.

Amazon has responded with a statement sent to this newspaper in which they make clear their position on this issue. "At Amazon, we have rigorous policies, as well as a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for our employees, we implement sophisticated systems to restrict and audit access to information and maintain a high ethical standard with our employees. Any person who violates our Code may face disciplinary measures, including the termination of the contract and possible legal and criminal penalties. In addition, we have zero tolerance for the misuse of our systems and if we find people who do not respect it, immediate action is taken, including the termination of your accounts as sellers, the elimination of opinions, the withholding of funds and the adoption of legal measures. .
