Summary
Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

This document explains how AWS collects, uses, keeps, and shares your personal information when you use its services. AWS does not sell your personal information, but it does share limited identifiers with advertising partners and shares data with third-party service providers who are restricted in how they can use it. After you close your account, AWS may still hold some of your information for legal or business reasons, and users under 18 must have a parent or guardian involved in their use of AWS.

Analysis

The AWS Privacy Notice establishes AWS's data collection, retention, sharing, and rights framework for users of AWS Offerings. AWS automatically collects personal information upon interaction with its Offerings and retains it for the duration of use, to fulfill stated purposes, or as required by law, with continued retention discretion following account closure. Personal information is shared with third-party service providers under use restrictions aligned with the Notice, and limited identifiers are shared with advertising partners; AWS states it does not sell customer personal information. The Notice establishes age-based restrictions requiring parental or guardian involvement for users under 18, prohibits knowingly sharing personal information of consumers under 18, and commits to non-discrimination against consumers exercising California Privacy Rights Act rights. AWS further states it does not engage in profiling for automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects as defined under the Colorado Privacy Act or Oregon Privacy Act.

What this means for you

When you use AWS Offerings, AWS automatically collects personal information and may retain it even after you close your account for legal and legitimate business purposes. AWS does not sell your personal information, but limited identifiers are shared with advertising partners.
