ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

EEA and UK users have stronger data protection rights under GDPR and UK GDPR, and international transfers of their data require specific legal safeguards; this clause confirms transfers occur but does not name the specific transfer mechanisms used.

Interpretive note: The policy does not specify which legally valid transfer mechanisms are in use, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which limits the ability to independently verify compliance.

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.
