Amazon Photos collects your photo data – you can disable this

Don’t become Amazon’s training data

Amazon Photo grants unlimited photo storage (and 5GB of video storage) to Prime members, which is why I use it to store my photo backups.

I was peeking around in the Amazon Photos Terms and Conditions recently when I found this:

We retain image recognition data relating to the photos and videos you store using the Services until you disable the applicable Tagging Feature or your account’s access to the Services is terminated.

Although vague, this language suggests that your photos and videos could become training data for their models. To avoid your photos’ and videos’ inclusion, go to Amazon Photo Settings, click on Image Recognition, and toggle Tag Photos to OFF.
