Assessment

Free, Pro, Pro+, Max: highBusiness and Enterprise: low

Reasoning: The most widely deployed coding assistant. Since April 2026 individual plans train on inputs, outputs and code unless the user opts out, so a developer using a personal Copilot licence on company code exposes that code to training. Business and Enterprise seats are excluded by the DPA. The Copilot endpoints do not distinguish plan tiers on the wire.

Flags: Individual plans train by default since April 2026 · Personal licences on company code · Business and Enterprise excluded from training · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
