← Back to full comparison

Compare data retention governance provisions between GitHub and Cursor. Provisions are extracted from monitored governance documents and classified by severity.

The provision establishes procedural obligations for GitHub to process data subject requests and operationalizes statutory rights that vary by jurisdiction. The response timeline requirement creates a defined operational standard for handling such requests.
Users may submit requests to exercise jurisdiction-specific data rights through the designated email channel, and GitHub commits to responding within applicable legal timeframes. The availability and scope of these rights depend on the user's location and the data protection laws that apply.

GitHub added a new section titled 'AI Features, Training, and Your Data' to its Terms of Service on…

The clause defines the framework governing how long personal data persists within Anysphere's systems, with retention periods tied to specific operational and legal justifications rather than indefinite storage. This establishes conditions under which data deletion or non-retention occurs, affecting the temporal scope of data governance.
Users' personal data will be retained according to purposes specified in the policy rather than user preference alone, though user settings may influence retention duration for certain data categories. Some temporary service interactions may be stored separately for limited periods to support safety and system monitoring functions.

Anysphere retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to operate the Service effectively and to support legitimate business needs such as legal compliance, safety, dispute resolution, and enforcement of our agreements. The appropriate retention period varies depending on the purpose for which the personal data was collected, its sensitivity, potential risks associated with its use or exposure, and any applicable legal requirements. Your settings may also influence how long we keep certain types of data. For instance, some temporary interactions with the Service may not appear in your history and could be stored for a limited duration for purposes related to safety and system monitoring.

AI Difference Analysis Professional
Stripe's arbitration clause is narrower than Amazon's in one key respect: it includes a small claims court carve-out that Amazon's clause does not. PayPal's clause is the most aggressive of the three, explicitly waiving jury trial rights in addition to class action rights. From a compliance perspective, Amazon presents the lowest risk for B2B contracts while PayPal creates the highest exposure for consumer-facing applications subject to CFPB oversight.
