AWS updated its Privacy Notice on May 18, 2026, making four operational changes. The document added a new section titled 'Advertising' to the table of contents. AWS also updated the Japan office address for Amazon Web Services Japan G.K. from 3-1-1 Kamiosaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo 141-0021 to 1-3-1 Azabudai, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0041 in both the data controller section and the data subject access request contact information. These changes affect where individuals in Japan should direct privacy requests and where AWS Japan processes personal information.
The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly lists 'Advertising' as a section in the table of contents, indicating AWS will provide information about advertising-related data practices. This disclosure was reorganized rather than newly introduced. The Japan office address for submitting data subject access requests has been updated from 3-1-1 Kamiosaki to 1-3-1 Azabudai. Customers and individuals in Japan should use the new address when submitting privacy requests to Amazon Web Services Japan G.K.
The addition of 'Advertising' to the Privacy Notice table of contents signals explicit organization of AWS's advertising-related data practices within the privacy framework. The Japan office address update ensures data subject access requests and regulatory correspondence are directed to the correct location, maintaining operational continuity for privacy compliance in Japan.
