The $25m settlement for the case against Alexa raised concerns for children's privacy, as Amazon failed to delete recordings as requested by parents and kept them longer than necessary.
In another case, the FTC alleged Amazon employees had access to customers' sensitive video data through Ring, leading to a $5.8m settlement.
Amazon denies violating the law and emphasizes its commitment to protecting customer privacy.
