Amazon can go to companies house and get an over view of all beneficial owners and persons of significant control.
What they can’t do is get the full detail as we’d see. As far as I’m concerned, this is confidential company information.
I’ve asked Amazon dozens of times now to justify why they need this particular information in this detail, and what they intend to do with it. The answer is always “it’s our process”.
Ok then, my process is before I hand over company information to an untrustworthy recipient I find out why it’s being requested and what’s being done with it. Considering NONE of the following companies have this information and have never asked to see it: 4 company bank accounts, PayPal, eBay, Worldpay, Elavon, Global Payments, Amex, and Visa. If they haven’t asked, why are Amazon?
This appears to be an underhand data gathering process where Amazon can profile your business. Until someone can come up with an actual reason I see this as little more than a malicious form of data mining, and we will NOT be providing the information.
