Cursor can update its privacy policy at any time. The only notice required is posting the updated version on the website, and continuing to use Cursor after a change is treated as acceptance of the new terms.
This analysis describes what Cursor's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The policy states that continued use constitutes acceptance of changes, without specifying a minimum notice period or requiring affirmative consent for material changes; whether this meets applicable legal notice standards depends on jurisdiction and the nature of the change.
Interpretive note: Whether implied acceptance through continued use constitutes valid consent to material processing changes depends on applicable law and the nature of the change; the document's own caveat acknowledges jurisdiction-specific requirements may apply.
Changes to data collection or use practices described in this policy may take effect after website publication alone, without direct notification to users. Continued use of Cursor after a policy update is treated as acceptance under the terms of this document.

"We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will publish an updated version and effective date at the top of this page, unless another type of notice is legally required. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.— Excerpt from Cursor's Cursor Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 13/14 requirements to inform data subjects of material changes to processing purposes and CCPA requirements to provide notice of material changes before applying them to previously collected data. The FTC has taken action against companies that applied changed privacy terms to retroactively alter data use without adequate notice. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The policy reserves the right to update by website posting alone, with continued use constituting acceptance. Under GDPR, material changes to processing purposes may require updated legal bases or fresh consent rather than implied acceptance through continued use. The caveat 'unless another type of notice is legally required' acknowledges this but does not specify when Anysphere would apply heightened notice. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA and UK users have heightened rights where processing purposes change materially, as GDPR may require renewed consent or updated information notices rather than implied acceptance. California CCPA requires that material changes not be applied retroactively to previously collected data without prior notice. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers should negotiate for direct notification of material policy changes in their customer agreements, rather than relying on website monitoring. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams monitoring Cursor deployments should implement a process to review the Cursor privacy policy periodically for changes, as the document does not commit to direct notification for non-legally-required changes. Organizations should assess whether material changes trigger an obligation to update their own employee privacy notices.
