> they say we don’t look at your data.

They legally can't say that. Any source?



Number one item in their privacy policy:

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.


We do not access or use your content for any purpose without your agreement.

Did you agree to the TOS?


Depends 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.


Then you are agreeing that they will not access or use your data without agreement. Where is the confusion lol.


> without your agreement

Does signing TOS means giving them agreement?


why else would it exist? :)
