    Likely every product any amazon customer ever views. They could potentially even figure out which things you buy. But you can get a pretty clear picture of someone’s personality and interests if you know everything they search for.

      How would they find that info from the outside, though? Or are you saying they are hooked into Amazon’s internal data harvesting ecosystem?

        Not really necessary people make DNS requests which are pretty easy to track if you know what URL was requested that will be the exact product. This can all be done by man in the middle and monitoring network traffic. But even that is sort of unnecessary. They could very possibly have contracts with ISPs or other network operators some of that is likely just secret and they dont disclose it.
