It's not a matter of trust for me. I don't care if they spread my marketing data around. As far as personal information goes, it doesn't matter if one NEVER uses any of their whizbang doodads, they've already got your secure info (name, address, email, CC, etc...) if you buy anything from them. So yes. I trust Amazon to protect my secure details--as much as I'd trust any other major online retailer. And much
more than I'd trust Bob's Anonymous Widget Emporium. But as far as marketing info/demographics (what I browse, buy, wish for, talk about in my neck of the woods)...? Nah... don't care who gets that.
I certainly feel safer by limiting my online purchasing to one well-known online retailer than I would if I had to shop 15 other online retailers just to be able to stick it to big, bad Amazon. *shrug*
