Cursor revised its privacy policy to clarify how inference providers access data. The updated language removes specific provider names (Baseten, Together AI, Fireworks) and replaces detailed disclosure about data sharing with model providers with a more general statement that inference providers may temporarily access inputs and outputs to improve performance, with data deleted after use. The policy also adds SpaceXAI to the list of providers whose documentation users should review for retention details.

Previous text The updated policy revises how Cursor describes data handling by inference providers. Previously, the policy named specific providers (Baseten, Together AI, Fireworks) and stated that prompts and telemetry may be shared with model providers when explicitly selected. The updated language generalizes this to state that inference providers may temporarily access and store model inputs and outputs to improve inference performance, with data deleted after use. The policy also adds SpaceXAI to the external documentation references. These changes clarify data handling procedures without materially altering the stated protections around temporary access and deletion.
