I thought AWS is one of the most privacy respecting companies.
Elsewhere they say we don’t look at your data. Here they indicate, not only we look at your data to verify your compliance, but we may even ask client side applications not held on our data centers.
Weird, if you ask me!
- YetAnotherNick 5y ago> they say we don’t look at your data. They legally can't say that. Any source?
- aborsy 5y agoNumber one item in their privacy policy: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/ https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/ Access: We do not access or use your content for any purpose without your agreement. We never use your content or derive information from it for marketing or advertising purposes. Apart from that, in general in their communications they are clear that they don’t access customers data, unless ordered by law enforcement/court. Admittedly, deciphering the language could be tricky.
- nitrogen 5y agoWe do not access or use your content for any purpose without your agreement. Did you agree to the TOS?
- taylorportman 5y agoThen you are agreeing that they will not access or use your data without agreement. Where is the confusion lol.
- aborsy 5y agoDepends on the meaning of this sentence, as I alluded to. I expect that this sentence reasonably means, if we want to access your content, first we will email you and obtain your permission in each case. The AWS privacy policy that I linked (TOS?) is quite clear. Where does it say that AWS has unconditional access to customers data (in which case the rest of policy is redundant)? It indicates the opposite, although as I said, there is room for arguments.
- YetAnotherNick 5y ago> without your agreement Does signing TOS means giving them agreement?
- tylermauthe 5y agowhy else would it exist? :)
