Anonymized data collection

This solution includes an option to send anonymized operational metrics to AWS. We use this data to better understand how customers use this solution and related services and products. When activated, the following information is collected and sent to AWS each time a video is processed:

• Solution ID - The AWS solution identifier.

• Unique ID (UUID) - Randomly generated, unique identifier for each Video on Demand on AWS Foundation deployment.

• Timestamp - Data-collection timestamp.

• Job Settings - The job settings with the source and destination object paths removed. This helps us understand what output groups customers are looking for.

AWS owns the data gathered through this survey. Data collection is subject to the AWS Privacy Notice. To opt out of this feature, complete the following steps before launching the AWS CloudFormation template.
