GitHub is in the process of updating its policies, focusing on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and is seeking user input on these changes. The updates include adjustments to the Privacy Statement and Terms of Service to ensure clarity and transparency, particularly regarding data collection, handling, security, and user privacy expectations with third-party applications. The changes aim to align with GDPR requirements, such as informing users about the legal basis for data processing and providing detailed security practices. Additionally, GitHub is updating other policies, including the Code of Conduct for the Community Forum, the Marketplace Developer Agreement, and takedown policies, while reinforcing its stance against modern slavery and child labor. Users are encouraged to review the open pull requests in the Site Policy repository and provide feedback before the new policies are enacted on May 25.
