Personal data embedded in user Inputs is actively collected by Cursor and may be reproduced in Suggestions, meaning sensitive information could appear in generated outputs.
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.
