Amazon's system works with existing customers - they're
very unlikely to use any incremental data from the Honor
system in any marketing sense.
The privacy info's at

and the general FAQs are

However, it's probably a good idea to let members know
that it does work off the back of the general Amazon customer

Another Amazon problem is

I think we'd do well to offer Amazon as well as another method,
explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each.
