This document describes data we retain while performing transfers for Storage Transfer Service and Transfer service for on-premises data. This data is necessary to complete transfers on your behalf, but isn't directly related to the data you're transferring.
User credentials
To complete a transfer job, you'll supply us with user credentials that we use
to complete transfer jobs on your behalf. We retain the user credentials for as
long as a
TransferJob
exists. We delete the user credentials provided when the associated
TransferJob is deleted.
The following account types are examples of user credentials we'll retain for
the duration of a TransferJob to complete work on your behalf:
- Amazon S3
