Lumen Trust & Privacy Note
Code is processed on GitHub and OpenAI cloud infrastructure; no on-premise or air-gapped option is available for most plans. Purpose is High — Copilot genuinely accelerates developer productivity with verified free access for students and open-source contributors, a clear commitment to access parity. Recommended for most development teams, but review your organisation's code privacy policies before connecting proprietary repositories.
