Did you read the screenshot? That's exactly what Amazon says it needs data tracking for.

(For those who haven't read the article: The author only discovered this because they have CyanogenMod and a permissions blocker installed and in use. Most people wouldn't be told they were being tracked.)

It's actually just a setting in the Amazon Underground app to disable tracking of apps. The "actually free" apps require the setting enabled. He disabled it and it's telling him that. The CyanogenMod/Privacy Guard/Location stuff is all unrelated.
