Amazon used propriety data collected from third-party sellers in order to produce and sell its own products in violation of its own policies and statements to Congress, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal cited more than 20 former employees of the tech company’s private-label business and documents for its report.
One example cited by the Journal included that of an Amazon private-label employee accessing a detailed sales report on a car-trunk organizer manufactured by a third-party seller called Fortem.
The employee showed the Journal the report, which included total sales, how much the vendor paid Amazon for shipping and marketing, and how much Amazon made on the sale.
Amazon later introduced its own car-trunk organizers.
