No, it's in the context of Amazon Drive applications: "With our updated RESTful API and SDKs for Android and iOS, Amazon Drive is moving to an invite-only developer offering to ensure we can provide a consistently viable service available for supported use-cases." Clearly, they want to be able to spy user data. You can easily summary this list of restrictions to: DO NOT WRITE Amazon Drive APPLICATIONS! (At least if you care for your customer). Personnaly, I would never write an application that would not encrypt user data, including user credentials. Basically, most services don't even need to know who their users are (unless you implement dumb password recovery scheme that requires you to send an email to the user, you just don't need ever to know anything more than a hash instead of an email in the clear!).
