What it is

If you use Cody through Sourcegraph.com without an enterprise account, Sourcegraph collects your code queries, the AI prompts generated from them, and the AI's responses to improve the product, though not to train general AI models.

This analysis describes what Sourcegraph Cody'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)

Non-enterprise Sourcegraph.com users are subject to broader data collection than enterprise users: their User Prompts, LLM Prompts, and Responses are collected for product improvement purposes, whereas Enterprise Cody users have their Customer Content used only to provide the service.

Interpretive note: The phrase 'none of it will be used to train any generally available models' does not exclude use for training proprietary or customer-specific models, creating some ambiguity about the full scope of data use.
