What you're entitled to ask for

This is called a Subject Access Request (SAR). Amazon UK must give you a copy of your personal data, tell you why they hold it, who they've shared it with, and how long they'll keep it — free of charge, within one calendar month.

How to contact Amazon UK

The most reliable route is to use Amazon UK's online request form.

Note: Primary channel is the 'Request My Data' self-service feature on amazon.co.uk, not email.

What happens next

Amazon UK may ask you to verify your identity before responding — this is normal. Once your request (and identity, if needed) is confirmed, the one-month clock starts. If the deadline lands on a weekend or bank holiday, it rolls to the next working day.

Common questions

Is there a fee to request my data from Amazon UK?

No — under UK GDPR, organisations including Amazon UK must provide a copy of your personal data free of charge in almost all cases.

How long does Amazon UK have to respond?

One calendar month from the day they receive your request, or from the day your identity is confirmed if they need to verify it first.

What's the best way to contact Amazon UK about this?

The most reliable route is to use Amazon UK's online request form. A postal address is also usually accepted as a fallback.

What if Amazon UK doesn't respond in time?

You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Right-of-access complaints made up 39% of all complaints in the ICO's Annual Report 2023/24 — more than any other category, around 15,000-15,800 in a single year.

For guidance only — this isn't legal advice, and DataDeadline isn't a party to your request or a representative for Amazon UK. Verify anything deadline-critical against current ICO guidance.
