Cursor's Data Use & Privacy Overview was updated on September 3, 2026 (detected September 9, 2026).

This clarifies the scope of external AI partners involved in data processing but does not change what data Cursor collects or how it uses it internally. Users can review each provider's documentation to understand retention timelines specific to each partner.
