How do I opt out of this for my own private repos? I don't see anything related to this as I've got a ton of settings for Copilot itself (I have access to Copilot through my work org)


https://github.com/settings/copilot/features, it's near the bottom "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training"


I believe it is under:

Settings->Copilot->Features->Privacy=>[ Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training

Allow GitHub to collect and use my Inputs, Outputs, and associated context to train and improve AI models. Read more in the Privacy Statement. ]


Under privacy.

> Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training


I don't see this. Might be a regional/geofenced thing with the EU, not sure. Or because I have a corporate Copilot license through my day job org.


Strange, looks like I don't have that option at all

I don't see it there, but I do see it in screenshots online. Maybe it was removed or moved.


Still at https://github.com/settings/copilot/features#copilot-telemet... for me.

It's not a new setting, fwiw. I opted out years(??) ago.


Huh, there must be some reason it shows up for some people but not others. Weird.
