The US government’s consumer watchdog, the Federal Trade Commission, took both cases against Amazon and a subsidiary, which the tech giant settled.
Amazon and a subsidiary have agreed to pay millions to settle two separate privacy cases against its Alexa and Ring doorbell devices.
Both cases were taken by US government consumer watchdog, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Amazon denies violating the law.
In a case against the Alexa voice assistant, Amazon agreed to pay $25m (£20.1m) to the regulator. The claim raised privacy concerns for children using Alexa.
The FTC said the company failed to delete recordings at the request of parents and kept them longer than necessary.
Amazon told Alexa users voice transcripts and location information would be deleted on request but failed to do so, the FTC said.
A separate complaint was made by the FTC over the Amazon Ring doorbell which allows residents to hear, see, speak to and record callers.
