Unverified

Amazon Web Services · Coding

Not verified. Check directly with Amazon Web Services before using Amazon Q Developer with protected health information (PHI).

What we checked

This assessment separates the consumer product from any business plan. It uses the vendor documents linked below; an unverified item is not a pass.

Business Associate Agreement: Not verified; No public BAA was confirmed. Treat PHI use as blocked until Amazon Web Services provides written terms.
Enterprise route: Amazon Q Developer Pro (content not used for training; Region-based residency); For regulated use, validate the BAA, configured service and users under the Amazon Q Developer Pro (content not used for training; Region-based residency) contract.
Default data training: Opt-out required; Free tier: content (questions, responses, generated code) may be used for model training unless you opt out via IDE settings or an AWS Organizations AI services opt-out policy.
Business-tier training: No by default; Pro tier: content is not used for service improvement or model training.

Practical risk: 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.

How to make a decision

Check the precise account tier, written contract and intended data before approving Amazon Q Developer. A security certification, DPA or setting can apply to only part of a vendor's service. Keep the source links with your supplier review and revisit them when the vendor changes its terms.
