Amazon Q Developer — privacy & data policy

Provider: AWS. PromptPrivacy score: 58/100. Last verified November 01, 2026.

What happens to your data?

Amazon Q Developer processes code and user inputs to provide inline code suggestions, answer technical questions, and automate development workflows. For Amazon Q Developer Pro users, proprietary content is not used to train or improve models. Other data handling practices, such as storage duration and third-party sharing, are not detailed in the text.

Does it train on your data?

Does not train on your content when using Amazon Q Developer Pro. AWS explicitly states that proprietary content is not used for service improvement under the Pro tier, but the provided text does not specify whether content from Free Tier users is used for model training.

Can you opt out?

Not specified. The policy does not indicate whether an opt-out mechanism exists for the Free Tier, though Amazon Q Developer Pro excludes proprietary content from service improvement by default.

Data retention

Not specified.

Encryption & security

Not specified. The text mentions connecting securely to private repositories and using Secure Shell for CLI autocompletions, but does not detail specific encryption standards (such as TLS or AES) for data in transit or at rest.

Is it safe for work?

Yes, for Amazon Q Developer Pro, which provides enterprise IAM access controls and guarantees that proprietary content is not used for service improvement. Organizations should exercise caution with the Free Tier, as its data training policies are not specified in this document.
