ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

EU and UK users have strong data protection rights, but transferring data to the US requires specific legal safeguards — and the policy does not specify which transfer mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The policy states that Cursor collects code Inputs you submit and AI-generated Suggestions, along with IP addresses, device information, log data, and usage and browsing activity within the service. For users on workplace or enterprise accounts, the policy states that account-related information (including email address and account status) may be disclosed to the employer organization, and administrators may access and manage the user's service activity. You can manage your preferences regarding whether Inputs and Suggestions are used for model training through the settings available within the Service.
