FirstWork
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Not addressed in any cited source. No Terms or Privacy citations speak to ownership of user-submitted prompts or inputs.
OUTPUT
Not addressed in any cited source. No Terms or Privacy citations speak to ownership of outputs or generated content.
TRAINING
The Privacy Policy discloses that user activity data may be used to draw inferences — including 'machine learning associated with analyzing the categories of information enumerated in this table of disclosures' and 'automated decision-making' — for platform and service purposes. No explicit statement addresses whether user data is used to train or fine-tune external AI/ML models; the cited language is limited to inference-drawing and automated decision-making within the platform context.
COMMERCIAL
The Privacy Policy acknowledges collection, use, disclosure, and retention of personal information for 'business or commercial purposes,' including sharing with third parties such as sub-contractors, marketing and service technology providers, cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and other service providers. Firstwork expressly states it does not 'sell' personal information for monetary consideration under CPRA definitions. Personal data may be retained long-term in accordance with commercial practice and regulatory requirements. Data may also be shared for cross-context behavioral advertising, which the policy defines but does not explicitly disclaim.

DEVELOPER / CODING
PROMPT
GitHub does not claim ownership over code inputs. Code submitted to Copilot remains the user's property.
OUTPUT
GitHub does not assert ownership over code suggestions. Users are responsible for determining the IP status of generated code.
TRAINING
GitHub Privacy Statement confirms: 'Product Development and Improvement: We use Personal Data to develop and improve our products, services, and technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. This includes improving features, developing new offerings, enhancing safety and security capabilities, and training models. We apply appropriate technical safeguards, including aggregation and de-identification techniques where feasible.' Affiliates including Microsoft may also receive data for 'product development and improvement (including training and improving artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies).' Individual tier: code snippets and telemetry may be used for training (opt-out in IDE settings). Business/Enterprise: training on user code is off by default, no data retention beyond session.
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use is the primary intended use case, particularly for Copilot for Business and Enterprise plans.
