GitHub's open-sourced repository of its site policies, terms of service, and privacy statements, published under CC0-1.0. It allows anyone to read, fork, adapt, and contribute feedback on the policies governing GitHub's platform.

Use cases

  • find a template privacy policy I can adapt
  • review GitHub's current site policies and guidelines
  • contribute feedback on GitHub's terms of service
  • see the revision history of GitHub's policies
  • reference acceptable use policy language for a platform

When to choose

  • you need reusable, permissively licensed legal policy text to adapt for your own service
  • you want to track or discuss changes to GitHub's official policies
  • you want real-world examples of terms of service and privacy statements

When to avoid

  • you need legally binding or up-to-the-minute official GitHub policies (use the live Help docs instead)
  • you need legal advice for your specific situation
  • you are looking for software or a tool rather than policy documents
