The provision describes the operational infrastructure for file handling and establishes limitations on data retention and use. By specifying temporary caching with client-controlled encryption and exclusion from training datasets under privacy mode, the clause defines the scope of server-side data processing.
Interpretive note: The document states cached files are 'never used as training data when privacy mode is enabled,' which by implication suggests they may be used for training when Privacy Mode is off, though this is stated conditionally rather than affirmatively.
Users' file contents are subject to temporary server-side caching with encryption during request processing. When privacy mode is enabled, cached files are contractually excluded from use in model training, though caching itself continues for latency and network efficiency purposes.

"We temporarily cache file contents on our servers to reduce latency and network usage. The files are encrypted using unique client-generated keys, and these encryption keys only exist on our servers for the duration of a request. All cached file contents are temporary, never permanently stored, and never used as training data when privacy mode is enabled.— Excerpt from Cursor's Cursor Data Use & Privacy Overview
