Cursor's privacy policy was updated in an update detected on July 16, 2026, with changes to how it describes data sharing with inference providers and model documentation references. The updated policy removes specific naming of inference providers (Baseten, Together AI, Fireworks) and replaces the statement about data sharing with model providers when they are explicitly selected with a more general statement that inference providers may temporarily access and store inputs and outputs for performance improvement, with deletion after use. The policy also adds SpaceXAI to the list of providers whose documentation users should review.
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.
The updated language removes explicit vendor names from Cursor's inference provider disclosures, which affects transparency about which third parties access customer data during model interactions. For organizations conducting vendor due diligence or maintaining customer data processing agreements, the generalized language may create ambiguity about the specific downstream processors involved, requiring direct clarification from Cursor.
Specific vendor names removed; language generalized to 'inference providers' without explicit identification of which parties access data.

Removed condition limiting data sharing to accounts created before October 15, 2025; scope of this condition now undefined.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change represents a policy clarification rather than a substantive rights shift. Cursor has removed specific vendor names from its privacy disclosures and generalized the language describing inference provider data access. For organizations relying on Cursor's privacy commitments in vendor assessments or data processing agreements, the change does not materially alter the stated data handling practices: temporary access by inference providers, deletion after use, and no use for training when Privacy Mode is enabled. The addition of SpaceXAI as a documented provider may warrant review if your organization maintains a vendor list or has specific data residency requirements.
