Question

A company is evaluating whether to purchase Copilot Business seats or let developers keep their Individual subscriptions. The security team's main concern is what happens to the code snippets sent as prompts for inline completions. Which statement accurately describes how prompt data is retained for Copilot Business compared to Copilot Individual?

Accepted Answer

For Copilot Business, prompts and suggestions are not retained after the completion is returned, whereas Copilot Individual may retain prompts to help improve the model unless the user opts out.

Answer

Both Copilot Business and Copilot Individual permanently store all prompts on GitHub servers for auditing, regardless of any settings.

Answer

Copilot Business retains prompts for 30 days for billing verification, while Copilot Individual discards them immediately.

Answer

Neither plan sends prompt data to GitHub servers; all completion processing happens entirely on the developer's local machine.
