Amazon sends buyer information to seller

You probably think that when you buy something online and use a payment service that your personal information is kept private. You may be wrong. Amazon is now showing a message when purchasing through Amazon Payments that your personal information will be sent to the seller. With the amount of serious privacy breaches this year it is concerning to see Amazon sending private information to a third party. If I buy a software bundle online does the retailer really need to see my address?

For example I buy humble bundles and now see this message when I got to make a payment through Amazon:
When you click "Okay", we'll provide Humble Bundle:
Any billing address from your Amazon Payments account you select during checkout.
Cancel Okay
