This provision establishes that personal data collected through the AWS website may be shared across the broader Amazon corporate group, including Amazon.com, Inc. and unnamed subsidiaries, as well as with third-party business partners whose identity and data use purposes are not specified. The scope of the affiliate sharing authorization and the absence of specific partner identification may be relevant to data flow mapping exercises.
Interpretive note: The notice does not identify specific business partners or provide a comprehensive list of Amazon affiliates, creating ambiguity about the full scope of authorized data sharing.
Under this provision, personal information provided to or collected by AWS may be shared with Amazon.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries and with third-party business partners engaged in co-offered services. The specific business partners and their data use purposes are not individually identified in the notice.

"We may share your personal information with our affiliates, which includes Amazon.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries, to provide you with services and to improve our products and services. We may also share your personal information with business partners who offer services in conjunction with or through our websites.— Excerpt from AWS's AWS Privacy Notice
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: GDPR requires that recipients of personal data be identified or identifiable to data subjects, and that sharing with third parties have a documented legal basis. CCPA's disclosure requirements include identification of categories of third parties with whom personal information is shared. The breadth of the Amazon corporate group and the use of unspecified business partners may create compliance documentation obligations. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The Amazon corporate group encompasses hundreds of subsidiaries across diverse business lines; sharing authorization across this group without functional limitation may create data flows that are difficult to map and audit. The reference to unspecified business partners without category-level identification may not meet CCPA's disclosure specificity requirements. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: GDPR requires documentation of all recipients and categories of recipients. CCPA requires disclosure of categories of third parties. UK GDPR has parallel requirements. Brazil's LGPD similarly requires transparency about data sharing recipients. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should assess whether the affiliate sharing authorization in this notice is consistent with any data confidentiality or processing restrictions in their AWS service agreements. Where customer data is incidentally collected through the AWS website, the scope of affiliate sharing should be evaluated. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should request a current list of Amazon affiliates and categories of business partners with whom personal data collected through the AWS website is shared, to support data mapping and regulatory disclosure obligations. The notice's reference to unspecified business partners should be evaluated against CCPA and GDPR specificity requirements.
