The Macro Picture17

Red · Adverse
4
of 17 banded observations across 1 offering band Adverse. 1 was never measured.

1 conditional row (Hosting Locality = Infrastructure and support operated exclusively within the EU by EU-resident personnel under Amazon Data Services European Sovereign Cloud GmbH (Germany); support limited to Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited and Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL; third-party service providers limited to the EU/EEA-region entities of the same messaging vendors named on the main platform's list.) sit outside these counts. A Variant is a stated deployment mode, not a published offering, and the Grid Standard holds it to its own band.

What Is Published8

Your Own Words3

AWS may use three types of sub-processors: (1) AWS entities that provide the infrastructure; (2) AWS entities that support specific AWS services; and (3) third parties that AWS has contracted with -- a disclosed chain structure, confirmed independently on both the GDPR Center and the sub-processor page itself.

Assessment Basis

Produced under Method v1.6 from the entity's fact record. 8 of 8 observations were measured under that generation; the rest read Not Measured, which is a fact about this register's coverage and not a finding about the entity.

Read from 18 first-party surface(s) across 1 assessed offering(s), found by the entity's own link graph and sitemap rather than by guessed paths.

The One Thing To Publish First

Publish it: say whether decisions about people are made automatically.

Red · AdverseAutomated Decision-Making

A finding on the public record.

Where To Put It

This was read on your own page at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/. That is the page a reader already reaches for and does not find it on, so it is the page to correct first.

Where Others Stand

4 organisations in the register say whether decisions about people are made automatically. You do not.

What A Published Answer Looks Like

Under certain laws, residents may also be permitted to opt out of certain profiling relating to automated processing analyzing certain categories of an individual's information that would produce a legal or similarly significant effect. [the vendor] does not engage in this type of profiling of individuals.

A question answered plainly in public, by an organisation read as Strong on it. It is not an endorsement of the position the sentence states — Black Snow reads what is published and never recommends what to practise. Read on a published trust or security page. Claim tier Quoted. The organisation that published it is not named. A name in the original is replaced; nothing else in the sentence is changed.

One is named here, and one is deliberate. The rest of the open questions are listed below without a prescription; what to publish for each, in what order, and drafted machine-readable evidence for all of them, is the Deep Dive.
