GitHub Copilot

Data

Prompts are the collection of code and supporting contextual information sent to GitHub to generate suggestions, including data you submit through a chat interface. Suggestions are the code, functions, and other output returned to Customers by GitHub Copilot.

A. Copilot Data Generally. GitHub Copilot sends an encrypted prompt from Customer to GitHub to provide suggestions. Except as detailed below, Prompts are transmitted only to generate these suggestions in real-time, are deleted once the suggestions are generated, and are not used for any other purpose.  Prompts are encrypted during transit and are not stored at rest without your permission.

B. When Prompts are Retained. Your Prompts are retained by GitHub in the following circumstances:

1. CLI and Other Tools. If you use GitHub Copilot tools that operate outside of your code editor, such as Copilot for the Command Line Interface, GitHub Copilot retains your Prompts to those tools to provide the service.
2. Private Language Models. If you have requested a customized private language model, GitHub Copilot retains your Prompts to fine-tune your private model.
3. Custom Settings. If you have configured GitHub Copilot to use alternative data handling, such as enabling interaction with third party extensions, GitHub Copilot will retain your Prompts based on that configuration.

C. More Information. More detailed information on how data is processed by GitHub Copilot is in the GitHub Privacy Statement available at https://gh.io/privacy.
