Change Summary
Cursor updated its privacy policy to clarify that in Privacy Mode, customer data will not be used for training by Cursor, and the company maintains zero data retention (ZDR) agreements with all AI model providers. However, the updated terms now explicitly state that model providers may run risk classifiers to detect policy violations, and if your prompts trigger abuse detectors, your data may be stored for investigation and deleted according to the provider's retention policies. This represents a shift from the previous language, which stated that code would never be trained on by Cursor or third parties, to a more detailed disclosure of abuse detection and retention practices.
