The GitHub DPA has been completely rewritten from the ground up, based on your feedback that our old DPA was, to quote one particular customer, "a mess."

Our new DPA is –

• Simpler: We have deleted language that was redundant, irrelevant, or outdated. We then simplified the terms that were left. The end result is a document that is (hopefully!) much easier to read and to understand.

• Shorter: The simplification effort enabled us to make the document 64% shorter too. The May 2022 version of our DPA was 18,928 words in 9-point font spanning 47 pages; the new DPA is a svelte 6,759 words in 12-point font spanning just 22 pages.

• Stronger: Even with the smaller size, we filled several gaps from the previous DPA. For example, Professional Services are now in the DPA scope instead of in a separate document. We also added EU SCC modules for more processing scenarios, such as when you process your customers' data and use GitHub as a subprocessor.

This September 2023 version of the GitHub DPA will apply to new customers and renewals beginning 22 September 2023. If your agreement uses an older GitHub Data Protection Agreement and you need a copy for your records, please contact us.
