GitHub copilot chat mobile to not be used for model improvements

[nrowhani]

quick extra question:

Also GitHub copilot mobile chat does not get used for model improvements too like for GitHub copilot in editor if option in settings is set as disabled for (prompt and suggestion collection)?

Anyone to answer?

Hi @nrowhani ,

The built-in code editor in the GitHub mobile app do not send data to Copilot for model improvements since it does not auto-complete suggestions as the Copilot version in your IDE.

Hope that helps,

Thanks!

Yes, that is what I am referring to. 🙂

Sorry for not understanding you :) But how is "built-in code editor in the GitHub mobile app" the "copilot mobile chat" part? :)

Thanks,

Hi @nrowhani
If the setting for "prompt and suggestion collection" is disabled in GitHub Copilot (both in the editor and mobile chat), it means that GitHub will not use your prompts and suggestions for model training or improvements. Disabling this option ensures that your data remains private and is not utilized for enhancing the model. Always check the settings and privacy policies GitHub provides for the most accurate and detailed information.

There are some points in these documents:

Data Collection Discussion:

The phrase "depending on your settings and which GitHub Copilot Service you use" suggests that data collection practices might vary based on the specific service (editor, CLI, or mobile chat) and user settings.
This implies that if you disable data collection settings, it should apply across all services you use, including mobile chat.

and Ownership and Responsibility:

You retain ownership of the code you write using GitHub Copilot.
Suggestions provided by GitHub Copilot do not transfer ownership to GitHub.

I need to know for sure :) maybe Aajash1134 knows something ... He replied something earlier and his profile says community manager

Edit: Aakash1134 not Aajash1134

[Hadikamali]

I don't think any ordinary people know the secret parts :)

[nrowhani]

Yeah

[nrowhani]

Copilot business and enterprise have it excluded by default (training models based on data)

Edit: And sorry I meant Aakash1134 not Aajash1134 in the previous messages
