Github private repositories & Microsoft user agreements
Has anyone ever read the T&C of Github to see if they are able to use your private repos for their own gains (= scrape your code for ChatGPT) ? TC: 🥜 #misc #privacy
Have you read goggles, fb, insta, Twitter, Amazon, T&C to see if they are using your private data for their gains?
The difference is their goal of using user data to replace roles/reduce pay of users providing the data
Private repos are paid for. So, MSFT would be stealing if it was scraping private repos.
GitHub free accounts get private repos too (introduced a couple years back I think)
Good to know. I pay for mine.
We treat the content of private repositories as confidential, and we only access it as described in our Privacy Statement—for security purposes, to assist the repository owner with a support matter, to maintain the integrity of the Service, to comply with our legal obligations, if we have reason to believe the contents are in violation of the law, or with your consent. So in short, no. It would be very dangerous to do so anyway. Since repositories might not only include code.
Github is treated by Microsoft as a completely separate entity, so noone at Microsoft would have access to your git hub repository anyway. Github employees might for the reasons disclosed in the privacy statement only.
I hope ChatGPT learns all the anti patterns from my private repo
Would technically be for our own gain too
