Safeguards meant to limit the impact of processing personal information
Amazon says it implements multiple safeguards across its training data practices, including techniques to help limit the impact of any processing of personal information in connection with training generative AI services. The wording is that these techniques 'help limit' that impact. It does not say personal information is excluded, removed or never used, and it does not name the techniques beyond the curation examples nearby.
Supporting quotations
We also implement multiple safeguards throughout our training data practices, including techniques to help limit the impact of any processing of personal information in connection with training generative AI services.
Qualifications & exceptions
Phrased as 'help limit the impact', which is weaker than preventing or excluding personal-information processing.
'Multiple safeguards' is general; only the curation techniques in the same paragraph are named.
Not stated here
The specific safeguards for personal information are not named.
The page gives no way to check how effective the safeguards are.

It adds that the approaches are tailored to each service's purpose and capabilities, so which safeguards a given service has can differ.
