Updates to the Standard Terms of Service - Spring 2018
Most of the changes to our terms are clarifications of pre-existing sections. Here are a few sections we'd like to highlight: * Third Party Applications: We combined the Marketplace section with general requirements for those creating integrations for other users to provide better protections for GitHub users and their data. The Marketplace section is now called "Third Party Applications," since it now applies to more than just GitHub's Marketplace. We've also added a "Third Party Applications" section to the Privacy Statement to discuss our users' privacy expectations in regards to those applications * Access to Private Repositories: In Section E, we clarified the purposes for which we may be required to access private repository contents, in line with the security obligations of our GDPR compliance program * More definitions: We included definitions of "User Accounts" and "Organizations" and described who has control of those types of accounts

+#### 1. Account Controls
+- Users. Subject to these Terms, you retain ultimate administrative control over your User Account and the Content within it.

+- Organizations. The "owner" of an Organization that was created under these Terms has ultimate administrative control over that Organization and the Content within it. Within the Service, an owner can manage User access to the Organization’s data and projects. An Organization may have multiple owners, but there must be at least one User Account designated as an owner of an Organization. If you are the owner of an Organization under these Terms, we consider you responsible for the actions that are performed on or through that Organization.
