GitHub updated its Copilot Business Privacy Statement on June 24, 2026 by reorganizing and expanding the FAQ section. The document previously listed certification resources and began a FAQ section with limited questions visible. The updated version removes some certification file links and restructures the FAQ to explicitly surface questions about third-party testing, personal data processing, and AI model training, along with detailed descriptions of data categories processed (suggestions, feedback data, prompts, and user engagement data). This reorganization makes privacy-relevant questions and data processing information more directly accessible within the statement.

This is a minor clarification to the compliance documentation listed in the statement.
