About every six months, we review our terms and policies to make sure they're as clear as they can be and decide whether we should make any updates. This time around, we focused on bringing our policies into alignment with a new law in Europe known as the General Data Protection Regulation, so we made some changes to our Privacy Statement and Terms of Service to cover our compliance with that law. We made other changes to our terms to clarify account control and developer obligations when integrations are created for others.
Over the last few months, we got a few questions asking about our General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. We are proud to announce that we are compliant with the GDPR. Additionally, we have always provided the same level of privacy protection to our users regardless of their residency, location, or citizenship—and that will not change. We provide strong privacy and security protection to all of our users.
For the most part, our changes to the Privacy Statement are only points of clarification. GitHub doesn't ask for more personal data from our users than we need to provide our services to you. Where we offer you the option of giving us more data, we provide you the ability to access and delete the data you have given us. For example, you can always remove your profile information, your comments in issues, and your repository contents. We have gone through our Privacy Statement to provide more context and transparency, though, so our users understand exactly why we ask for information and what we'll do with it.
Much like the changes to the Privacy Statement, most of the changes to our terms are clarifications of pre-existing sections. Here are a few sections we'd like to highlight:
