ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes a conditional data use authorization tied to an explicit user configuration choice. Disabling Privacy Mode serves as the operational trigger that permits model training use of code-related data; Privacy Mode remaining enabled restricts this use.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users who disable Privacy Mode accept that their code data and editor actions will be collected and used to train Cursor's AI models. Users who maintain Privacy Mode enabled operate under different data handling terms that restrict this training use.
