Is it because I don’t use an Alexa or have Fire tablets?

No. I have multiple Alexa’s, a fire stick, and used to have multiple Fire tablets. Maybe they actually follow through when you set preferences to not track

Mine is similar. I have several Alexas and a Fire tablet, too.

My data is mostly correct and based on my purchase history, with a couple of entries seeming to be inferences based on my history, and most of them are wrong (it thinks I have an infant under 1 year old; no idea why it thinks that). All my entries are pretty boring.
