Title: A most unusual thing. Every once in a while I get an email from Amazon that it&#x27;s time to re-order Brother ink. I always delete these because I rarely print, but also figure it&#x27;s just Amazon reminding me to buy something.<p>Today I decided to opt out&#x2F;unsubscribe once and for all. Instead I see this at the bottom of the email:<p>&quot;Click here to view or manage settings, including the option to opt out if you are already using another replenishment service.<p>This took me to https:&#x2F;&#x2F;drs-web.amazon.com&#x2F;settings<p>&quot;The data shown is based on estimated consumption reported by smart devices and orders you place through Amazon.&quot;<p>Here it had a link to &quot;Consumption history&quot; which upon clicking showed me the ink levels of my Brother printer for the past <i>two weeks</i>. Date and time.<p>WTF?! It is not apparent that I can disable this function. Can anyone else duplicate?<p><i>Update</i> : This is part of Alexa it seems, and folded in to the Dash replenishment protocol; note I have never had a Dash button.<p>Amazon&#x27;s instructions for this were not very helpful.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;gp&#x2F;help&#x2F;customer&#x2F;display.html?nodeId=201357520<p>Some digging revealed a Brother help document:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;help.brother-usa.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;answers&#x2F;detail&#x2F;a_id&#x2F;172810&#x2F;~&#x2F;cancel-enrollment-%28amazon-smart-reorders%29<p>This bothers me quite a lot. I never authorized, opted in, or gave either device permission to connect, let alone Amazon to monitor and nag me about it!<p>Model: Brother MFC-J485DW<p>Purchased from: Best Buy, an American retailer, after July of 2019.<p>Firmware: N1901041316
