Luckily, there's a simple way to hide your recent Amazon orders from those in your household.
How to hide your Amazon orders
First, you'll want to start by setting up an Amazon Householdaccount. It's a free service that lets you share many Amazon features with up to six people in the same household (two adults and up to four teens or children). Everyone gets their own sign-on, so adults can order in private, while teen orders need to be approved by an adult. Kids under 13 can't shop on their own at all. The bottom line is that if you use Amazon Household, all adult orders are automatically private from everyone else in the home.

Then start inviting your family members-to add a spouse or partner, click Add Adultand enter their name and email address. Follow the steps to send an invite, and when they accept, they'll get their own private access to your Amazon account. You can repeat the process for any teens or kids in your home.
After completing the process, your orders will be hidden from everyone else in the house, automatically.
