Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy - The GitHub Blog

From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out.

Should you decide to participate in this program, the interaction data we may collect and leverage includes:

Outputs accepted or modified by you
Inputs sent to GitHub Copilot, including code snippets shown to the model
Code context surrounding your cursor position
Comments and documentation you write
File names, repository structure, and navigation patterns
Interactions with Copilot features (chat, inline suggestions, etc.)
Your feedback on suggestions (thumbs up/down ratings)

This program does not use:

Interaction data from Copilot Business, Copilot Enterprise, or enterprise-owned repositories
Interaction data from users who opt out of model training in their Copilot settings
Content from your issues, discussions, or private repositories at rest. We use the phrase “at rest” deliberately because Copilot does process code from private repositories when you are actively using Copilot. This interaction data is required to run the service and could be used for model training unless you opt out.
