What GitHub's own terms say

GitHub's Copilot FAQ states: GitHub may use interactions from users with a Copilot Free, Copilot Pro or Copilot Pro+ subscription, including inputs, outputs, code snippets and associated context, to train and improve its AI models unless they have opted out.

For business customers, GitHub's policy management documentation states: GitHub does not use Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise customer data to train AI models.

What Copilot as an agent sees

Copilot's agent mode operates across a connected repository rather than a single open file, so the tier a given seat is on matters more once agent mode is in use.

The opt-out for individual subscribers is a setting inside the Copilot features page of the user's GitHub account.

FAQ

Does GitHub Copilot train on our code?

For individual Copilot Free, Pro and Pro+ subscribers, GitHub's own FAQ states that interactions, including inputs, outputs and code snippets, may be used to train and improve its AI models unless the subscriber opts out.

Can an individual subscriber opt out?

Yes. GitHub's FAQ states that individual subscribers can opt out of having their data used for AI model training at any time through their Copilot settings, without affecting access to Copilot features.

Does Copilot Business or Enterprise answer differently?

Yes. GitHub's Copilot policy management documentation states that GitHub does not use Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise customer data to train AI models.

What does Copilot as an agent see?

Copilot's agent mode can read and act across a connected repository, not only the open file, which is why the individual-versus-business tier distinction matters more for agent use than for simple autocomplete.
