I have the Google Search app on my iPhone 5 and it works well - too well! I have a gmail account that I use for all things Google. I also have an Amazon Prime account that uses a different, non-Google email address to keep things separate. About a month ago, I ordered something on Amazon and the next day opened the Google app to check out the commute time home from work (great feature) and there is a card displayed telling me that my Amazon package has shipped. I ordered something last week and again had a card telling me my package shipped. I cannot figure out how the two accounts became linked. Separate login email accounts with different passwords. Now while I find this very convenient to see this card, I do not ever remember doing anything that would somehow give Google access to my Amazon account.

Anyone else experience anything like this?
