AWS amazonq documentation change

Service: amazonq · 2025-06-16 · Documentation low

File: amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/data-protection.md

Summary

Removed data storage details and encryption references, added link to new data storage documentation.

Security assessment

The changes restructure content organization by moving details to a dedicated data storage page. While encryption references were removed, this appears to be documentation reorganization rather than a security-specific update. No evidence of security vulnerability addressed.
