Exactly what user information is gathered when an Amazon Skill is downloaded?
Hi. To begin, just a point of clarification. Skills are not downloaded per se, but rather enabled or associated with a customer's account. This is all done in the cloud and the device itself doesn't download a file like you would expect for an Android or iOS app.
Now, when a user interacts with your skill, your skill's backend receives a json request with many key value pairs. Your skill's back-end can then parse those values and send a json response back. For more information, please see the Request and Response JSON Reference document here. In particular, the Request Body Syntax section:
