Seems like this is just an American thing. I have a German and an American account and couldn’t find the “About You” page on the German one. Man, I love GDPR

I wouldn’t celebrate prematurely. It could very well mean that both German and American Amazon profile you, but American is just more transparent about it because Americans aren’t as spooked by surveillance as Germans are.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
