ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The prohibition on knowingly collecting data from under-18 users, combined with a conditional deletion obligation, defines Cursor's stated approach to child data protection.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'delete', so the full scope of what is deleted and any additional conditions are not confirmed. The canonical claim focuses on the primary prohibition and the conditional deletion response. The direction-of-service prohibition is noted as omitted material.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are under 18, Cursor states it does not knowingly collect your information, and if your age is discovered or suspected, your data may be investigated and deleted if Cursor determines that is appropriate.
