AWS connect documentation change

Service: connect · 2025-12-07 · Documentation low

File: connect/latest/adminguide/data-opt-out.md

Summary

Revised documentation about data usage for service improvement, added details about opt-out policy changes (discontinuation of feature-level opt-outs by March 2026), and enhanced explanations of benefits/controls

Security assessment

The changes clarify data privacy controls and opt-out mechanisms but do not address a specific security vulnerability. The addition of policy enforcement dates and expanded documentation about data usage governance qualifies as security-related documentation improvements.
