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
Users whose data is processed by Cursor as part of a commercial customer relationship are not protected by this Privacy Policy; their data practices are determined solely by the terms of the applicable customer agreement.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'customer agreements', so additional governance terms or exceptions may exist but cannot be confirmed from the provided text.
The updated policy now states that Cursor collects payment information whenever you 'initiate payment for products and services,' rather than only when accessing paid Anysphere products. This broadens the scope of payment data collection to cover any payment action, including partial transactions, payment attempts, or payments for services beyond the core Cursor platform. The policy does not specify what payment data is collected, how long it is retained, or with whom it may be shared; you can review Cursor's full Privacy Policy and Privacy Overview for additional details on payment data handling.
View change record →The updated policy removes the explicit statement that Cursor does not 'sell' or 'share' personal data for cross-contextual behavioral advertising and does not process personal data for 'targeted advertising' purposes. The revised language now states only that Cursor does not process sensitive personal data for inferring consumer characteristics, which is narrower in scope. The policy also removed jurisdiction-specific disclosures that previously detailed the purposes of data collection, types of data collected, and legal basis for processing.
View change record →If your personal data is processed by Cursor on behalf of a commercial customer, this Privacy Policy does not govern that processing—your protections depend on the relevant customer agreement.
