The Login with Amazon feature is useful for both developers and the people who use your website.
If you use this, you'll need to have a Privacy Policy and make sure you disclose some specific information within it. Learn why and what to do here.

2. The “Login with Amazon” feature lets Amazon
customers use their Amazon accounts to
quickly log in to different websites.
Developers are able to implement this
convenient feature to give users an additional
option for logging in.
4. While this feature comes with come obvious
benefits for website owners and users, it also
comes with one important requirement:
A Privacy Policy.
This requirement is both by law and by
Amazon.
Let’s take a look at both.
5. A Privacy Policy is required by law when
personal information is collected and
used.
6. Login with Amazon triggers this requirement.
That’s because if your website uses the Login
with Amazon feature, Amazon is sending you
users’ names, email addresses and zipcodes.
Amazon’s Login with Amazon Developer Guide
for Websites (1) document requires that a
Privacy Notice URL (also known as a Privacy
Policy URL) is provided to users.

8. When you register with Amazon to use the
Login with Amazon client, you’re required
to enter a Privacy Notice URL.
10. If you don’t already have a Privacy Policy in
place, you’ll need to create one.
If you already have one, you may need to
update it.
Make sure your Privacy Policy discloses that
you collect personal information through
third-party account registration or login tools.
11. You can create a separate clause to
address “social networking services”
or “social network login features.”
13. Or, you can add this information to a
clause that discusses what personal
information you collect, how you collect
it and why.
14. The Login with Amazon feature helps developers
enhance a website for better user experience.
Just don’t forget your Privacy Policy that discloses
that you collect personal information through third
party services.
Remember: Both Amazon and international laws
require it.
