GitHub's site policy updates are ready for your feedback
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub is updating several of its policies, including the Privacy Statement, Subprocessors and Cookies Policy, Terms of Service, and Corporate Terms of Service, to align with product evolution, legal requirements, and user feedback. These updates address issues like Brexit and changes in cookie and subprocessor usage, as well as clarifications on prohibited uses due to export controls and sanctions laws. The proposed changes are available in pull requests within the Site Policy Repository, allowing users to review and comment on them until April 12, with the final updates being merged on April 19. This process aims to leverage the familiarity of GitHub users with pull requests and open-source project collaboration, fostering engagement and transparency. The policies are licensed under CC0, enabling users to adapt them for their own needs.
