The ability to archive or conceal past purchases within an Amazon account offers a degree of privacy regarding shopping history. This functionality allows users to remove specific orders from the default order list, making them less visible during routine account management. For example, an individual might choose to archive a gift purchase to maintain surprise or to simply declutter their order history.
Managing purchase visibility is essential for maintaining personal privacy and organizing account information. Historically, Amazon’s order history was a single, chronological list. The introduction of archiving features allows for better control over the displayed data, empowering users to curate their purchase records and potentially limit access to sensitive information by others who might share the account.
