Fingerprint ID builds a fingerprint template that is stored on the tablet and can be deleted anytime

Certain Amazon tablets offer Fingerprint ID to unlock the tablet and verify you in apps. If you enroll, the feature uses images of your fingerprint to create a fingerprint template and keeps updating that template over time to recognize you better. The template is stored on your device, and you can delete it at any time in the tablet's Settings menu.

Amazon's device software sends Amazon usage data, including search queries, location and voice information

The Software, meaning software Amazon makes available for the device rather than third-party content, will provide Amazon with information about how you use the device and how it interacts with Digital Content and the Services. The listed examples are last page read, content archiving, available memory, up-time, log files, network diagnostics, content usage, viewing data, search queries, location, voice information, connectivity and signal strength. The source says "will", so this is stated as a practice, not an optional feature.
