We will train new models using data from Free, Pro, and Max accounts when this setting is on (including when you use Claude Code from these accounts).

If you’re a current user, you can select your preference now and your selection will immediately go into effect. This setting will only apply to new or resumed chats and coding sessions on Claude. Previous chats with no additional activity will not be used for model training. You have until October 8, 2025 to make your selection.
If you’re a new user, you can pick your setting for model training during the signup process.
You can change your selection at any time in your Privacy Settings.

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.

In the United States, an executive order is a directive by the president of the United States that manages operations of the federal government.[1] Executive orders are only binding on the federal government's executive branch. The legal or constitutional basis for executive orders has multiple sources. Article Two of the United States Constitution gives presidents broad executive and enforcement authority to use their discretion to determine how to enforce the law or to otherwise manage the resources and staff of the federal government's executive branch. The delegation of discretionary power to make such orders is required to be supported by either an expressed or implied congressional law, or the constitution itself.
