“If you choose to give us any ideas, know-how, algorithms, code contributions, suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations or any other feedback for our products or services (collectively, “Feedback”), you acknowledge and agree that GitHub will have a royalty-free, fully pa…”
Feedback provided during Beta Preview (which could include code, algorithms, or technical know-how) is subject to an extremely broad, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, commercially exploitable license with no compensation to the user.
“**9.1** We own all intellectual property rights in our Services (including our Platform). This includes how our Platform looks and functions, as well as our copyrighted works, trademarks, inventions, designs and other intellectual property, including Our Materials. You agree not…”
“ GitHub and our licensors, vendors, agents, and/or our content providers retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Website and Service. We reserve all rights that are not expressly granted to you under this Agreement or by law. The look and f…”

“In addition, for Individual subscribers only: GitHub may use Copilot interaction data — including prompts (inputs), s uggestions (outputs), and code snippets generated during Copilot sessions — to train and improve AI models. This training helps improve code suggestions for all C…”
Individual (Free/Pro/Pro+) subscribers' prompts, outputs, and code snippets are used for AI model training by default. Opt-out is available but must be actively exercised.
“For Service improvement (including analytics and machine learning):** We may analyse your Content and related data in your account to improve the Service, and to train our algorithms, models, and AI products and services using machine learning to develop, improve and provide our…”
By default, user content is used for model training. Opt-out requires a paid subscription and use of the private generation mode — free-tier users have no opt-out.
“It is your responsibility to assess what is appropriate for the situation and implement appropriate safeguards.”
The document places responsibility for assessing appropriateness of use entirely on the user but does not explicitly restrict or permit commercial use of outputs. No affirmative commercial use restriction or permission is stated.
“- our [privacy policy](https://leonardo.ai/privacy-policy) and our [data processing addendum](https://leonardo.ai/data-processing-addendum) (on our website) which each set out how we handle the Personal Data of our users and commercial customers (as applicable);”
“GitHub and third parties use social media cookies to show you ads and content based on your social media profiles and activity on GitHub’s websites. This ensures that the ads and content you see on our websites and on social media will better reflect your interests. This also ena…”
Third parties can use data collected on GitHub to improve their own products on entirely separate websites, extending data use well beyond the GitHub platform context.
“**10.5** You must only disclose Personal Data to us if you have the right to do so (such as having the individual’s express consent).”
“When a school or employer supplies your GitHub account, they assume the role of Data Controller for most Personal Data used in our Services. This enables them to: Manage and administer your GitHub account, including adjusting privacy settings. Access and utilize your Person…”
Users on organization-provisioned accounts have significantly reduced privacy protections — their employer or school can access content, files, and usage data and adjust privacy settings.
“With a paid subscription, you have control over who can see your generated Content. When you use private mode, your generated Content cannot be accessed or used by other users. If private mode is turned off, your Content is considered public and can be accessed and used by other…”
Free-tier users have no privacy controls: all generated content is public by default, indexed by search engines, and accessible to other users. This is a significant tier-based privacy disparity.
