GitHubUpdated 17 Oct 2025

This document outlines the privacy practices for GitHub Codespaces, detailing how user data, specifically telemetry from Visual Studio Code, is collected and managed. It explains how users can opt out of telemetry collection and references the broader GitHub Privacy Statement and Beta Previews terms for comprehensive details.

GitHub Codespaces Privacy Statement

Effective Date: August 10, 2021

Use of GitHub Codespaces is subject to the GitHub Privacy Statement.

Activity on github.dev is subject to GitHub's Beta Previews terms

Using Visual Studio Code

GitHub Codespaces and github.dev allow for use of Visual Studio Code in the web browser. When using VS Code in the web browser, some telemetry collection is enabled by default and is explained in detail on the VS Code website. Users can opt out of telemetry by going to File > Preferences > Settings under the top left menu.

If a user chooses to opt out of telemetry capture in VS Code while inside of a codespace as outlined, this will sync the disable telemetry preference across all future web sessions in GitHub Codespaces and github.dev.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.

It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.

Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
