Why not Amazon

We skip Amazon to protect your privacy

PKI Press, an enterprise of the Authenticity Alliance, doesn’t sell its books on Amazon. Here is the short version of why.

  1. Amazon says no to authors, “for privacy”Amazon refuses to tell authors who bought their books, citing buyer privacy.
  2. Then it monetizes the same dataMeanwhile it collects buyer information and profits from it, including by sharing it with data brokers.
  3. We let you chooseWhen you buy from us, you decide whether the author learns who you are. That lets authors build real relationships with their readers, if readers want one.
  4. It’s the Alliance’s first principle“You own the information about yourself, and license it to others as you choose.” We avoid doing business with companies whose privacy practices conflict with it, unless there is truly no alternative.
  5. No spying on this site eitherThis website runs under the City of Osmio’s Privacy Ordinance. No tracking pixels, no beacons, no covert identity reporting. If we want to know something about you, we’ll ask.
