Sharing your data with AWS

When you use CodeWhisperer, AWS may, for service improvement purposes, store data about your usage and content. This page explains how to opt out of sharing that data.

The data that AWS may collect with CodeWhisperer includes your client-side telemetry and your content.

Your content includes the parts of your code that CodeWhisperer uses to generate suggestions, as well as the content of the suggestions themselves. At the professional tier, and for in-console development, CodeWhisperer does not collect your content for service improvement purposes. In-console development includes development in Amazon SageMaker Studio, AWS Glue Studio, AWS Lambda console, and AWS Cloud9. The professional tier, in this context, includes the code chat, feature development, and code transformation features of Amazon Q.

Your client-side telemetry quantifies your usage of the service. For example, AWS may track whether you accept or reject a recommendation. Your client-side telemetry does not contain actual code, and does not contain personally identifiable information (PII) such as your IP address.
