If your content is public-facing, third parties may access and use it in compliance with our Terms of Service, such as by viewing your profile or repositories or pulling data via our API. We do not sell that content; it is yours. However, we do allow third parties, such as research organizations or archives, to compile public-facing GitHub information. Other third parties, such as data brokers, have been known to scrape GitHub and compile data as well.</p> <p>Your User Personal Information associated with your content could be gathered by third parties in these compilations of GitHub data. If you do not want your User Personal Information to appear in third parties’ compilations of GitHub data, please do not make your User Personal Information publicly available and be sure to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211117222145/https://github.com/settings/emails">configure your email address to be private in your user profile</a> and in your <a href="/web/20211117222145/https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/setting-your-commit-email-address">git commit settings</a>.

For example, where a GitHub user has made an email address public-facing for the purpose of identification and attribution, do not use that email address for the purposes of sending unsolicited emails to users or selling User Personal Information, such as to recruiters, headhunters, and job boards, or for commercial advertising. We expect you to reasonably secure any User Personal Information you have gathered from GitHub, and to respond promptly to complaints, removal requests, and "do not contact" requests from GitHub or GitHub users.</p> <p>Similarly, projects on GitHub may include publicly available User Personal Information collected as part of the collaborative process.
