SCHEDULE A: AMENDMENT NO. 1 (AI DATA USAGE)
Effective Date: February 25, 2026
This Schedule A is hereby incorporated into the EULA. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Schedule and the main body of the EULA (specifically Sections 2.7, 3.3, and 4.2), the terms of this Schedule shall govern.
A.1 Restriction on Model Training. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in Section 2.7 (User Content) or Section 4.2 (Usage, AI Interaction, and Other Data), GitKraken hereby affirms and agrees that:
- No Internal Training: GitKraken does not, and has not historically, used User Content, code snippets, or AI interaction data provided by you to train, retrain, or update its proprietary machine learning models or those of its Affiliates.
- Separation of Improvement and Training: The term “improving GitKraken’s products and services” shall be interpreted to include bug fixing, performance optimization, and UI/UX enhancements, but shall specifically exclude the use of your data as a training corpus for generative AI models.
A.2 Third-Party AI Context. The Software utilizes the Google Gemini API. While your data is processed by Google in accordance with Section 2.11, GitKraken represents that it does not independently harvest or aggregate your inputs/outputs for its own model development. GitKraken shall maintain a policy of data isolation to ensure that customer-specific code and queries remain segregated from any general-purpose model development environments.
A.3 Certification of Status. As of the Effective Date of this Amendment, GitKraken certifies that it is not currently engaged in “training on customer data.” Any future change to this status would require a material update to this EULA and prior notification to Authorized Users.
