ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Amazon operates hundreds of subsidiaries and affiliates globally. Sharing your personal data across this entire corporate family significantly expands who has access to your information beyond what most users would expect from a cloud services provider.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

AWS collects a broad range of personal information including contact details, payment information, device identifiers, and behavioral data from its websites and services, and may share this information with third-party service providers, advertising partners, and affiliated companies. International data transfers, including to the United States, are disclosed, which carries relevance for EU and UK users whose data may move outside jurisdictions with equivalent protections. You can exercise rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information by submitting a request through the AWS privacy contact mechanisms listed in the policy.
