The updated terms remove the explicit reference to a Data Processing Addendum governing Anthropic data transfers, though the requirement to obtain opt-in consent for Anthropic model use remains in place. For Kiro users, the revised language now explicitly states that abuse detection includes retention and potential human review of inputs and outputs when selecting certain models. Users of Anthropic models on Bedrock should verify opt-in consent mechanisms in service documentation to understand data handling practices.

The updated terms establish a new project-based service structure for AWS (new) users, effective August 17, 2026, with new rules governing team member access and content ownership. Users who enable spend limits agree that AWS may suspend their account or project access upon reaching their limit, and may permanently close the account or project if not reactivated within an unspecified timeframe. Contributed content by team members becomes the project owner's property and is subject to a nonexclusive irrevocable license granted to all project members. You can configure AI services opt-out policies through AWS Settings; project owners can manage team member permissions and access controls.

The updated terms now explicitly state that AWS IoT SiteWise Scenario Discovery is not designed for real-time vehicle control and cannot be used as the sole basis for determining vehicle safety or regulatory compliance. Organizations deploying this service must implement independent human monitoring and safety validation before using its outputs to support vehicle system decisions. The terms make clear that AWS assumes no responsibility for uses that violate these constraints.
