I was checking my activity this morning, and saw "Data accessed from front yard • Amazon" and "Data accessed from front doorbell • Amazon"
I only have have an Alexa and it's linked to my doorbell for the doorbell chime. It shouldn't have access to any of my cameras
I tried finding the option to stop "sharing" my data from Amazon, i know i never agreed to sharing it. But I can't find anything on either app to change the setting. Any help?

Hello, WOW,,, i'd love to know more about what is happening. I'm going to ESCALATE this so you can speak with the tech folks at Google. Please return here and let us know what you find out.

Couldn't find anything online on why I have those activities. Tried looking on my Google home app and my Alexa app to see about changing my settings to stop it but I still couldn't find anything

Hello, Can you post a screen shot here of what you are seeing?
The "data accessed about your devices" messaging will show up in the Home history logs anytime a connected third-party partner or service is requesting information from the devices to function properly. In this case the connected third-party service is Amazon Alexa, and it's requesting the data through the Google Home app connection in order to control the connected smart devices in the home structure (cameras, in this case).
I think what is happening is because Amazon has access to your Google Home devices it is just hand-shaking with all the devices that it sees and not just the ones you have given access to. But it isn't actually talking to the those devices. It is more of an acknowledgment that they are there in case you do give access to them. I'm and end user (like you) this is just my best guess. But I will see if I can find out anything more.
