Does Amazon Q Developer train on your data?

Amazon Web Services · Coding

By default it can. On the consumer tier Amazon Q Developer uses your inputs to improve models unless you opt out. Its business tier typically does not.

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.

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.
Training control: Confirmed; Amazon Web Services documents a training control. Confirm whether it is enabled centrally or must be set by each user.

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.
