“The resources highlight applications that can help you optimize your product listings, expedite FBA or seller-fulfilled shipping, and automate inventory and order management,” Amazon stated. “You can explore these resources to help decide which solutions could work best for your business.”

“When you authorize an app, you give the app developer permission to securely retrieve only necessary data pertaining to your account,” Amazon answered in the latter FAQ. “The apps are rigorously monitored by Amazon to ensure they comply with our high data privacy standards.”
