The question of whether Amazon reveals the identity of individuals who purchase items from a user’s wishlist is a common concern. Amazon’s default settings do not automatically disclose the purchaser’s name or contact information to the wishlist creator. The system prioritizes buyer privacy unless the purchaser chooses to share their details during the checkout process or via a separate communication.
Maintaining buyer anonymity offers several advantages, including protecting personal information and preventing unwanted solicitations or contact. This also enables gift-givers to maintain an element of surprise. Previously, wishlist functionality was less refined, leading to potential privacy concerns; current iterations emphasize user control over information sharing.
