The GitHub General Privacy Statement explains how GitHub (and GitHub B.V.) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data across its services, including users’ rights (GDPR/US state laws), data transfers, cookies, and security/retention practices. It is an official GitHub policy (under Microsoft) that references concrete compliance frameworks like the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the Data Privacy Framework, making it a reliable source for understanding GitHub’s privacy posture.
