GitHub received EU Safe Harbor Certification on January 28th, 2013, and we continue to maintain our Safe Harbor certification.
Additional information about our Safe Harbor certification can be found at https://safeharbor.export.gov/companyinfo.aspx?id=33260.
On October 6, 2015, the European Court of Justice issued a judgment declaring the US-EU Safe Harbor Framework "invalid." Data transfers from the European Union and European Economic Area based solely on Safe Harbor are similarly invalid. GitHub has never relied solely on our Safe Harbor certification for our data transfers; we also obtain informed consent from our users at the point of data collection, and offer our users control over their own personal data.
In addition, we look forward to the development of the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
