Change Summary

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.
