Annex I: Amazon Security Measures

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this document have the meanings assigned to them in the Addendum.

  • Information Security Program. Amazon will maintain an information security program (including the adoption and enforcement of internal policies and procedures) designed to (a) secure Associates Personal Data against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure, (b) identify reasonably foreseeable external and internal risks to security and unauthorized access to Amazon’s associates systems, and (b) minimize security risks, including through risk assessment and regular testing. Amazon will designate one or more employees to coordinate and be accountable for the information security program. The information security program will include the following measures:

    1. Network Security. Amazon’s associates systems will be electronically accessible to employees, contractors and any other person as necessary to provide the services under the Addendum and the Amazon will maintain access controls and policies to manage what access is allowed to the relevant systems from each network connection and user, including the use of firewalls or functionally equivalent technology and authentication controls. Amazon will maintain corrective action and incident response plans to respond to potential security threats.
    2. Physical Security

      1. Physical Access Controls. Physical components of Amazon’s associates systems are housed in facilities (the “Facilities”) where physical barrier controls are used to prevent unauthorized entrance. Passage through the physical barriers at the Facilities requires either electronic access control validation (e.g., card access systems, etc.) or validation by human security personnel (e.g., contract or in-house security guard service, receptionist, )
      2. Limited Employee and Contractor Access. Amazon provides access to the Facilities to those employees and contractors who have a legitimate business need for such access privileges. When an employee or contractor no longer has a business need for the access privileges assigned to him/her, the access privileges are promptly revoked, even if the employee or contractor continues to be an employee of Amazon or its Affiliates.
  • Continued Evaluation. Amazon will conduct periodic reviews of the security of its systems and adequacy of its information security program as measured against industry security standards and its policies and procedures. Amazon will continually evaluate the security of its systems and associated services to determine whether additional or different security measures are required to respond to new security risks or findings generated by the periodic reviews
