What it is

The document states, in response to the FAQ question, that GitHub does not use Copilot Business or Enterprise customer data to train AI models.

This analysis describes what GitHub's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision is the most operationally significant data use commitment on the Trust Center page for enterprise customers, as it defines the boundary of how prompt and engagement data submitted through Business and Enterprise tiers may be used by GitHub.

Interpretive note: The commitment appears in a FAQ section of a Trust Center informational page rather than in a binding contractual document; the legal weight of this statement depends on whether it is reflected in GitHub's Terms of Service or Data Processing Agreement.
