Amazon Web Services · Coding · facts (medium-confidence)

Amazon Q Developer is medium-risk for default at-work use (30/100): it trains on your data unless you opt out, though several facts are still unverified.

Watch out: On the Pro tier, Amazon Q Developer is not used for training and stores content in the Region where your profile was created (some features US-only). The Free tier can use your code for model training unless you opt out. Per-service SOC 2 and ISO scope and a BAA for ePHI should be confirmed via AWS Artifact.
