SimpleDB Gotcha - A Follow-Up
Two weeks ago we posted something about the terms and conditions of SimpleDB and how they simply stated that data could be deleted after six months.
Thankfully Amazon didn’t leave that rather ambiguous claim as it is and recently updated their customer agreement appropriately:
5.8.2. […] If during the previous six (6) months you have incurred no fees for SimpleDB and have registered no usage of Your Amazon SimpleDB Content, we may delete, without liability of any kind, Your Amazon SimpleDB Content upon thirty (30) days prior notice to you.
Still not great to know your data might get deleted, but now you know a lot better under what conditions Amazon reserves the right to clean up after you, and they’ll notify you early enough before they would actually do so.
Thanks Amazon, I’m glad you cleared that up!
