AWS Bedrock's Service Terms replaced its AWS IQ marketplace section with new provisions governing AWS Config's use of configuration data for service improvement. The previous terms required exclusive use of AWS IQ for 24 months when connecting with a Provider and released AWS from liability for Provider Services. The updated terms authorize AWS to use and store Config Content to develop and improve AWS Config and related security services, with an option to store data outside the customer's configured region, but permit customers to opt out via an AWS Organizations AI services policy.
AWS customers using AWS Config with third-party recorders: AWS can use your configuration data to improve its services and may store it outside your region, unless you opt out.
AWS customers previously subject to AWS IQ exclusive-use requirement: You are no longer required to use AWS IQ exclusively for 24 months after identifying a Provider through the marketplace.
AWS customers granting Provider access to AWS accounts: AWS no longer reserves the right to review your account activities when you grant a Provider access or to revoke that access.
The updated terms authorize AWS to use and store configuration data collected by AWS Config (when third-party recorders are enabled) to develop and improve AWS Config and related AWS security and observability services. AWS may also store this data in AWS regions outside the customer's configured region solely for development and improvement purposes. Customers can opt out of this data use by configuring an AI services opt-out policy through AWS Organizations.
→ Review AWS Organizations settings to configure an AI services opt-out policy if you do not want AWS to use your Config Content for service improvement.
→ Audit your Data Processing Addendum with AWS to confirm it reflects the new Config Content data-use authorization.
