Image recognition tags your photos and videos automatically from first use unless you turn it off
To power these features, Amazon uses image recognition technology to analyze your photos and videos and apply tags. The "Tag Photos" feature tags photos and videos with objects, actions and scene-related keywords. It is turned on automatically the first time you use the Services; you can disable it at any time.

You can switch tagging on or off in settings; turning it off stops tag storage and new tagging

Qualifications & exceptions

Turning tagging off does not affect consent you may have given others to use image recognition on photos or videos of you.
Not stated here
The source does not say whether tags or face records already created are deleted immediately when a feature is disabled, beyond stopping storage.
Inference & Profiling · Company practice
In a Family Vault, the creator decides tagging, and it then applies to every member's photos
If you create a Family Vault, only you control whether Tagging Features are enabled in it; if they are, image analysis is performed on all photos and videos stored by Family Vault members. If you join someone else's Family Vault by invitation, the person who invited you controls whether Tagging Features are enabled for the vault, and if they are, image analysis will be performed on the photos and videos you store through the Services.

Qualifications & exceptions
An invited member does not control tagging for the vault, despite the general right to switch Tagging Features on or off in your own settings.
Not stated here
For an invited member, the source says analysis covers "the photos and videos you store through the Services"; it does not say whether this is limited to what you add to the Family Vault or extends to your other stored photos.
Joining a Group does not change your tagging settings
If you are a member of a Group, your tagging settings are not affected by your Group membership or by the tagging settings of any other Group member, including the person who set up the Group. This differs from a Family Vault, where the creator's choice applies to members.
