Amazon Data & PII Handling

Description of the Amazon-related data actually processed by Elitesecom.

Elitesecom may access customer information (such as names and shipping addresses) necessary for order fulfillment, shipping label generation, and customer service operations. This data is accessed only when authorized by the seller through the Amazon SP-API authorization process.

This information is required to fulfill orders, generate shipping labels, provide customer support, and reconcile payments — all core functions of the order management system.

Order processing, shipping label generation, customer communication, and payment reconciliation functionality may require access to this data.

Access is restricted to authorized Elitesecom personnel and automated systems based on role-based access controls. All access is logged and audited.

Data is protected through encryption, access controls, audit logging, and security monitoring. Protection measures are designed around the principles of SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Access Control

Access to Amazon-related data is restricted to authorized systems and personnel based on operational requirements.

Role-Based Access

Access controls based on user roles and responsibilities.

Principle of Least Privilege

Users have only the access necessary for their specific roles.

Audit Logging

Comprehensive logging of all Amazon data access and usage.

Regular Access Reviews

Data Retention & Deletion

How long Amazon-related data is kept, and how it is removed.

Buyer PII (restricted data): Buyer names, shipping addresses, and contact details are retained for a maximum of 30 days after order shipment, then automatically deleted or anonymized.

Non-PII order & financial records: Retained per the seller's contract and applicable statutory, tax, and audit requirements.

Authorization revoked: If SP-API authorization is revoked in Seller Central, sync stops immediately and retained Amazon data is deleted or anonymized per the schedule above.

Deletion requests: Sellers can request earlier deletion of their data at any time via dpo@elitesecom.ai.
