Why it matters

Your financial data is handled by external processors, meaning you should understand who has access to your payment details and how they are protected.

Consumer impact

GitHub collects a broad range of personal data including your account information, browsing behavior, code contributions, and payment details, which may be shared with Microsoft affiliates, third-party service providers, and disclosed in response to legal requests. Your data may also be used to train AI and machine learning models, including features like GitHub Copilot, which has significant implications for developers who store proprietary or sensitive code on the platform. You can opt out of AI training data use and manage your privacy preferences through your GitHub account settings at https://github.com/settings/privacy.

Applicable agencies

  • CFPB
    The CFPB has oversight of payment processing practices and consumer financial data protections where payment processors operate under its jurisdiction.
