Policy Details & Nuances

Default Model Training
Yes

Free and Pro accounts train on your prompts and code. Business and Enterprise tiers turn off training by default.

Opt-Out Mechanism
Yes

Toggle Privacy Mode in Cursor settings (General tab) or in your online account settings.

Data Retention & Deletion

Retention Period

Cursor retains data when Privacy Mode is off. Turning it on ensures zero data retention for upstream models, and Cursor avoids storing prompts.

Deletion on Request

Yes

You can request account deletion to remove personal data, though the company keeps anonymous telemetry.

Third-Party Data Sharing

Sends data to OpenAI and Anthropic under zero data retention terms when you use Privacy Mode.

Human Review of Chats
Yes

Staff review conversations only if automated filters trigger safety or abuse alerts.

Context & Variations

Regional Variations

GDPR protections apply for EU and UK users, including data deletion and processing objection.

Children's Data Policy

Requires users to be at least 13 years old.

Enterprise vs. Consumer
Yes

Enterprise plans enable Privacy Mode by default, ensuring zero data retention and no model training.
