AWS Bedrock updated its service terms on June 16, 2026 to add new provisions governing metadata sharing with Anthropic for certain AI products and to introduce a new AWS WAF AI traffic monetization feature. The updated terms now explicitly authorize AWS to notify Anthropic of metadata present in requests to Anthropic models, and establish a framework whereby AWS can facilitate payment transactions between users and buyers of content served through AWS services, though AWS states it does not provide regulated financial services and is not a party to the flow of funds. Users who employ these features will have pricing, payment, and configuration information shared with applicable buyers, payment providers, and facilitators under separate terms between the user and those parties.
AWS Bedrock customers using Anthropic models: When you use certain Anthropic products like Claude Code through Bedrock, AWS will tell Anthropic what metadata is in your requests so Anthropic can track how its products are being used.
AWS WAF users adopting traffic monetization: If you use AWS WAF AI traffic monetization to charge buyers for content, your pricing and payment information will be shared with payment processors and other facilitators under separate terms between you and those parties.
AWS Bedrock customers: AWS clarified that it may store your WorkSpaces AI content in different geographic regions for improving the service and AI technologies, a practice that was previously implied but is now explicit.
The updated terms establish new data-sharing mechanisms for users of Anthropic models on Amazon Bedrock. Specifically, AWS now explicitly authorizes notification to Anthropic of metadata present in requests sent to certain Anthropic products (e.g., Claude Code, computer use features), enabling Anthropic to conduct product-level usage attribution. Additionally, the terms introduce AWS WAF AI traffic monetization, which permits AWS to facilitate payment transactions between content publishers and buyers by sharing pricing, payment, and configuration information with payment providers and facilitators; the updated terms clarify that AWS does not provide regulated financial services and is not a party to fund flows, and that users' interactions with payment providers are governed by separate terms between the user and those parties. Users employing these features should review what metadata may be embedded in their requests and understand their own obligations to payment providers.
→ Review your current use of Anthropic models on Bedrock to understand what metadata may be shared and confirm whether metadata includes personal data or sensitive information.
→ If you use Anthropic models and process regulated data, audit your data-processing agreements and privacy notices to confirm metadata sharing with Anthropic is disclosed.
→ If you adopt AWS WAF AI traffic monetization, review and document your vendor agreements with payment providers and confirm your customer terms disclose payment information sharing.
