Change Summary
Cursor removed two sentences from its Data Use & Privacy Overview that previously described how codebase embeddings and metadata are handled during the indexing process. The removed language stated that plaintext code used for computing embeddings ceases to exist after each request, and that embeddings and metadata (including hashes and file names) may be stored in the database. The updated policy no longer includes these specific disclosures about data retention practices.
