ai Cursor Prohibition on Regulated Data Submission
High
What it means
The restriction establishes a contractual boundary on data categories the service will process, allocating responsibility to users to identify and exclude regulated data streams before submission. This operates as a protective measure defining the scope of data Anysphere accepts under its stated security and compliance posture.
Consumer impact
Users are required to independently identify and withhold submission of health information, payment card data, financial account information, and other data subject to industry-specific regulatory regimes before providing content to the service. Submitting such data in violation of this restriction constitutes a breach of the terms.

AI Difference Analysis Insight
Stripe's arbitration clause is narrower than Amazon's in one key respect: it includes a small claims court carve-out that Amazon's clause does not. PayPal's clause is the most aggressive of the three, explicitly waiving jury trial rights in addition to class action rights. From a compliance perspective, Amazon presents the lowest risk for B2B contracts while PayPal creates the highest exposure for consumer-facing applications subject to CFPB oversight.
