The updated terms clarify that Cursor maintains zero data retention agreements with all AI model providers and will not use customer data for training. However, the revised language now explicitly states that model providers may run risk classifiers to detect policy violations, and if your prompts or conversations trigger abuse detectors, your data may be stored temporarily for investigation and deleted according to the providers' retention policies. The policy removed the legacy Privacy Mode option; non-ZDR models now require explicit admin opt-in. You can review the specific retention policies of OpenAI and Anthropic through their documentation.
