Mine doesn't have anything of a particularly personal nature, just obvious stuff from purchase history like:
You don't even have to purchase something several times. I bought two of the same monitor once and now it thinks I have a preference for that no-name brand. It's pretty dang dumb.
Yeah. Mine is really basic as well. It can be summed up as has kids, pets and a car.
The weirdest thing I see is "frequently repairs small engines"
I replaced the carb on my lawn mower last year. It's the only part I order from Amazon because I'm lazy and wanted an prebuilt carb. I hardly call that frequent but maybe it's a low bar.
