- As regard to customer data as well as data from transactions, the Amazon Go model is premised on hundreds of pictures being taken of every person entering and exiting the store. Amazon then stores these pictures for long enough to identify the products being purchased, before the images are deleted. Credit card information is captured at the point of registration for the app that is required to use the Amazon Go stores, and then credit and debit card information is captured when purchases are made. Further receipts are issued after purchases are made, and the system also records how long an individual has been shopping for (this is printed on the receipt). With a need to capture and store such large volumes of information that is both sensitive and personal to people, it is not surprising that many are concerned for the security of the information and the potential for the information to fall into the wrong hands.
