Effective Date: August 10, 2021

Use of GitHub Codespaces is subject to the GitHub Privacy Statement.

Activity on github.dev is subject to GitHub's Beta Previews terms

GitHub Codespaces and github.dev allow for use of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} in the web browser. When using {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} in the web browser, some telemetry collection is enabled by default and is explained in detail on the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} website. Users can opt out of telemetry by going to File > Preferences > Settings under the top left menu.

If a user chooses to opt out of telemetry capture in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} while inside of a codespace as outlined, this will sync the disable telemetry preference across all future web sessions in GitHub Codespaces and github.dev.
