Hi Petra

There are a few different models on how your email address and postal  
address can be provided to Amazon. One of the concepts behind  
Identity 2.0 is enabling the user to easily provide identity data.

The model you describe below is what I would call a "pull" model,  
where Amazon is pulling the data from your identifier. I'm a  
proponent of the "push" model, where the user sees what Amazon is  
asking for, and can select which information to release.
