What it is

AWS states that it will not use the data or content you send to Bedrock models to train Amazon's own AI models unless you have given consent for that use.

This analysis describes what AWS Bedrock's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The terms explicitly state that customer prompts and content submitted through Bedrock inference are not used to train Amazon foundation models by default, which is a material data handling commitment relevant to customers submitting proprietary or sensitive data.

Interpretive note: The scope of what constitutes customer content versus aggregated service metadata is not exhaustively defined, creating some uncertainty about the full extent of the no-training commitment.

Recent Activity

Medium Jul 30, 2026

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.

The updated terms establish new restrictions on how AWS Capacity Reservations may be used. Specifically, customers purchasing On-Demand Capacity Reservations can no longer resell them to other parties, and AWS reserves the right to cancel the purchase or terminate running instances if the company suspects resale activity. For Capacity Blocks for ML, the grace period before instance termination increased from 30 minutes to 60 minutes for UltraServer instance types, allowing slightly more time to complete workloads. The Amazon Sidewalk qualification program was renamed and simplified, but the underlying security and operational requirements remain in effect.

Medium Jun 30, 2026

The updated terms establish a formal framework for AWS Bedrock's free exploration services, clarifying the operational boundaries and responsibilities. AWS reserves the right to discontinue these services at any time without prior notice, meaning customers cannot rely on their continuation for production planning. Customers are solely responsible for testing, deploying, and maintaining any code, documents, or AI solutions AWS provides, including determining whether those solutions comply with applicable law. AWS retains the right to develop competing products based on content it creates during these engagements, though this does not override existing non-disclosure agreements. Customers are prohibited from requiring AWS personnel to sign additional terms as a condition of receiving free services, and any such documentation signed by AWS personnel is void.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Organizations submitting proprietary business data, personal data, or sensitive information as prompts through Bedrock can rely on the terms' statement that this content is not used to train Amazon's foundation models by default; however, customers should confirm that their specific Bedrock configuration and any fine-tuning features they use are covered by this commitment.
