AWS added a new section (50.16) establishing terms for Claude Platform on AWS, a service that integrates Anthropic's Claude AI into AWS. Under these new terms, content and metadata provided to Claude Platform will be processed by Anthropic outside AWS in locations Anthropic chooses, and AWS is authorized to transfer this data to Anthropic. Users must also comply with Anthropic's separate Commercial Terms, Data Processing Addendum, and Usage Policy. AWS reserves the right to change, deprecate, or discontinue the service at any time, and may share usage information and data with Anthropic.
The updated terms establish a new service offering, Claude Platform on AWS, that operates under different data handling rules than standard AWS services. Content and metadata you provide will be processed by Anthropic outside of AWS infrastructure in locations Anthropic selects. AWS is authorized to transfer your content and metadata to Anthropic for this processing. You must also comply with Anthropic's Commercial Terms, Data Processing Addendum, Usage Policy, and other agreements governing Claude services. The terms permit AWS to change, deprecate, or discontinue Claude Platform at any time with notice where practicable.
The updated terms establish a new service model where content provided to Claude Platform is processed outside AWS by Anthropic, a separate entity. This creates a multi-party data flow that organizations must account for in their vendor management, privacy notices, and data processing agreements. For organizations serving customers, this change may require disclosure updates and subprocessor authorization confirmation.
→ Review Anthropic's Commercial Terms, Data Processing Addendum, and Usage Policy before using Claude Platform on AWS.
→ If you are an organization using this service for customer data, verify your existing vendor agreements permit Anthropic as a subprocessor and update privacy notices to disclose the cross-border transfer.
→ Content you provide to Claude Platform will be processed by Anthropic in locations of their choosing, as stated in the updated terms.
→ If you do not review Anthropic's separate agreements, you may inadvertently violate terms you are contractually bound to comply with.

When you use Claude on AWS, you are bound by both AWS and Anthropic's separate agreements, not just AWS terms.
If you use Claude on AWS, you are explicitly authorizing AWS to send your data to Anthropic for processing in their chosen locations.
AWS introduced Claude Platform on AWS, a service governed by a new contractual section (50.16) that establishes data flows to Anthropic, a third-party processor. This creates a multi-party service model where AWS acts as the platform provider and Anthropic processes content. Organizations using Claude Platform on AWS must now ensure compliance with both AWS terms and Anthropic's separate Commercial Terms, DPA, and Usage Policy. This may affect data processing agreements, vendor assessments, and privacy notice disclosures if the organization operates as a data controller or processor for end users.
GDPR (data processing across borders, processor obligations, data transfer mechanisms), CCPA (third-party disclosure and consumer rights), potential state privacy laws (California, Virginia, Colorado), AI regulation frameworks (EU AI Act where applicable to Claude model operations)
