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.
Consumers: When you use Claude on AWS, you are bound by both AWS and Anthropic's separate agreements, not just AWS terms.
Data controllers: If you use Claude on AWS, you are explicitly authorizing AWS to send your data to Anthropic for processing in their chosen locations.
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.
→ 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.
